No stitches!

Well yesterday we got the dreaded call from school.
Ronan had a little accident today......

He's showing off his chin scrape. Notice Logan is wearing Ronan's pajamas, inside out no less.


You can see a bit of the swelling and bruising
Here I was trying to get him to show me his lip, got more than I bargained for


here you can see where his top teeth dug into his lower lip. OUCH


Strangely enough it was a totally low key accident. He didn't climb on something, trip over something or fall off anything. He simply was walking towards the table at snack time. He had his snack in one hand and water in the other and another little kid was running and ran smack into him. Probably the worst damage he's had in all his incidents and he was just walking along.....
Dr said since it split his lip in a straight line not to worry about stitches, it will heal up just fine by itself. So we just have to swab it out with diluted peroxide a couple times a day and make sure to rinse it out after he eats so nothing stays in there and in about a week it should be all healed up.
