  Well, five days post fall, and Aidan's swelling is almost completely gone. The teeth also look better. While the ones pushed upward will take 2-4 months to come down (if they don't fall out, that is), the ones pushed back are less pushed back, maybe only 10 or 15 degrees back now compared to the initial forty-five.
All involved teeth may still turn a dark shade, or even fall out, but only time will tell. I've been swabbing the teeth at night with cheese cloth in lieu of brushing, and spraying salt water on the gums with a nose hose (the infant bulb thing) since I thought there was no sensible way to get Aidan to gargle or swish it. His gums are a little swollen in the particularly hairy-looking spot today, I think I'll begin treating that with tea tree oil. I should have been making him drink green tea every day, since it prevents plaque build-up, but we're just starting that today. The thing that's improved his recovery most of all was his dad's return for the weekend, care of dad's bosses (thank you!).
We all do so much better when our little family unit is together. Today, Aidan pointed his teeth out to me and explained, "this one's pushed back and this one's pushed up" just like I've done a myriad of times to all our well-wishers! I just have to say how grateful I am for our family support throughout this ordeal. My dad's quiet calm presence was invaluable, and Aunt Amanda showing up a few hours after the big toss with sticker books and a stuffed moose was also fantastic.
My in-laws have called at least once every day to see how his (and my own) recovery progresses. In these days of progress, geography otherwise separates us from our natural support group. I'm so happy my family has found these ways around the miles between us.
