crooked smile

yesterday morning, michael pulled the pan of fudge of the counter...
glass pan
5 lb of fudge
...right onto his face. there was blood, but we couldn't find the source (he wouldn't let me in to look either).

last night, as shaun was getting him ready for bed, we discovered that his lower jaw appeared to be crooked.
you can see where his middle teeth don't match.

so, late last night, 9:30, i took him up to the hospital to have him checked out. we were able to quickly see the doctor, and he saw the concern. he ordered a ct scan so that we could have a clear picture, especially, since michael wouldn't let us look inside his mouth.
and then we waited. they had to send the scan out to have it read. finally, at 11, we had the results. no fracture, no misalignment. (YEHAW!) the doctor thinks it's just swollen and bruised, and that he's holding it at a spot so that the least amount of discomfort occurs.

if things don't improve by tuesday, i'll take him back in, and have him re-evaluated.
