Last night around 9:00, Dane was walking along the couch holding his bottle upside down (we've been giving him a bottle each night in hopes it'd help fill his belly and make him sleep-which by the way isn't working, he still gets up) and fell on top of it. The bottom had a plastic lip that caught his gums on his top teeth and 'degloved' the skin (this is how the ER doctor described it). Poor Dane was in instant tears, with blood pooling out of his mouth. A quick call to his dr. sent us to the ER just to get it checked out, and after waiting two hours, we got the okay to go home. Thank goodness it wasn't any worse, it could have caused nerve damage, tooth issues and so much more! Needless to say, we may just skip that extra bottle at night, as I am terrified of using the bottles again. And to make it even worse, Dane was at my feet when it happened! At least he is okay now.... you can see at the photo his little gums are so swollen (as if they weren't swollen enough with him teething), and his little upper lip is swollen, too. However, it doesn't seem to bother him.
