More on Jack's face : )

Saturday night while Andy and I were preparing for dinner and putting up light fixtures Jack started crying. When I went out to ask what happened Avery immediately said "I didn't do anything!".
Turns out Jack had been running around like crazy (normal, unfortunately!) and tripped and face planted into the fireplace. Our fireplace is mean, unforgiving brick.

After I let him cry on my shoulder for a minute I pulled him away and noticed his face was twice the size it normally was! After lots of cuddling, ice packing, screaming (on Jack's part) and singing songs he calmed down. After a while he was up and playing somewhat normally. His face was still huge though, but he seemed fine, no blood, he could still see (thank goodness).

The next morning his face was even worse, his eye was swollen almost completely shut and his cheek was even bigger that the night before.  We almost thought about keeping him home from church. It was that bad.

Over the last few days the swelling has continued to go down, but the coloring has gotten worse. He does have a very pretty shade of purple decorating his face. We get lots of questions at the store, and pretty much everywhere we go. Thankfully we haven't gotten any dirty looks, it really was the fireplace! He's doing fine though, it's still tender so he doesn't like to have his face washed, but we're hopeful he'll be back to his non-swollen, normal colored face soon!
