Katelynn's Accident

Yesterday, my niece Katelynn took a fall and damaged several of her teeth, and also her gums. Katelynn was playing in their backyard, did a flip over the porch rail. Sadly, the porch and her mouth got very acquainted with one another.

She went to the ER, they said she'd be OK till this morning.

So this morning she went to the dentist, had three teeth removed (they were only there by ligaments, they'd been torn from the bone). The doctor at the ER, and the dentist said it looks worse than it is. The teeth she lost were all baby teeth, and her permanent teeth are almost ready to start moving down, so there was no damage to them.

I think my mom and sister were more upset than Katelynn. She was to graduate today from her preschool, and she was more upset to miss that. So, they made sure she was able to go for the graduation.
