Zak had an unfortunate accident yesterday; he fell over while playing and managed to break off the top of one of his front teeth, and bite straight through his lower lip.
We ended up having to take him to Taunton, where they have a specialist Childrens Ward, and under a general anaesthetic they removed the base of the tooth that was remaining and stitched his lower lip up.
The only part of the entire procedure that he really didn't like was having the IV Cannula inserted into the back of his hand - even though the back of his hand had already been numbed with a local anaesthetic cream, he really screamed at that point.
The whole operation took about half an hour (although it felt like hours to us), and within about fourty minutes of waking up in the Recovery Room he was up and running around again! We were able to take him home a couple of hours later.
