BOYS.....

Gavin has not had the best week this week. He's come home grumpy from pre-school, he's been having nightmares, which is probably why he's been so grumpy, and today he was playing with his bow and aarow, he took the rubber end off of it, so it was just the plastic tube, and I guess had it in his mouth, which we have told him not to do, anyway, he had it in his mouth and fell on it. He came to me crying and holding his mouth. I asked him if he bit his tongue, and he said yes, but when I looked in his mouth, there was blood in the back of his mouth, not the front. Then he told me that his aarow did it. I looked at the top of his mouth and there were 2 big gashes. They bled quite a bit for a few minutes, he kept gagging on the blood. He wouldn't let me look at it again. But after a few hours, I made him let me see it again because he won't eat anything, his voice has sounded different, and he has been having a harder time swallowing. I got a flashlight and looked at the back of his throat, and it's totally raw too! One side of his throat is all cut-up. It looks so sore. I feel so bad! He looks miserable! He has wanted to be held all day! Poor Avery has been completely neglected! It's a good thing she's such a happy baby.
