I bet no one will guess what my son did on Wednesday! It was your normal average day and his class had a feild trip to go on. I wanted to go but being 34+ weeks pregnant I figured I should stay home. It was 10 miles out of town on the bus and with the back and hip problems I have been having I figured home would be the best place to be. Well sitting at home less than an hour before he was ready to go on the feild trip I get a call from the school, (not his teacher, we talk often) It was the secretary informing me of what my son had done in gym class while playing rainbow tag. Instead of telling you what he did I will put up a picture of what he did.
You guessed it. He ran into the gym wall (made of cinder blocks) and broke his tooth. I had no way to get to the school to see how bad it was as the car was at the shop with the husband. So the next best thing, I called the dentist office and told them what the secetary had told me. I was talking to the receptionist when she told me to hold for a minute and then next voice I heard on the line was our dentist. He was asking me questions that I couldn't answer because I hadn't seen the damage. He told me if it was just a little chip and no blood it could wait until my son got back from his feild trip but if there was any sign of blood that he needed to come in right away. I told the dentist that I would call the school back and ask the questions he had asked me. They told me what it looked like and (and it was the worst case senerio, blood on the tooth) I told them to not send him on the feild trip and that I would be there as soon as I could find a ride. So as soon as I hung up the phone from the school I though who can I call. I know I will call Stan. He is a guy from our church that has given us rides to and from church many times when we didn't have a car. He has been a blessing to our family. He had taken his wife to the doctor and was waiting for her to go in when I called him. I told him what happened and he said he would come and get us. He came right away, picked me up then went to the school, we got my son and headed to the dentist office. All said my son was sitting in the dentist chair within an hour and a half of breaking his tooth. Stan was even able to make it back to the doctors office before his wife had a chance to see the doctor. Here is what the dentist did to his tooth. I think he did a good job and you can't even tell unless you look really close at the tooth and this picture doesn't show the tiny line at all.

For all that would like to know, my son did get to go on the feild trip with the other class that went in the afternoon.
