Little did he know....
He did well when we got there. He played with the toys and was thrilled to find a "shooter". The anesthesiologist came out and let me know how things were going to go. This was a little different than I was used to with Andrew. I held him while they gave him a shot in his arm (he was NOT happy about this) and then within minutes he got funny and said mommy in a very confused way and then went into a blank stare. It was awful and so scary that one little shot can do that to your body. They took his limp little body from me and off they went. They had to do x-rays and I knew more damage would be found...and I was not wrong. With an ever increasing bill and a nervous mommy the doctor wrapped things up in about an hour and I got go back and hold my baby while he came out of it all. He did alright. He wanted to be held, his head was floppy, and he just kept saying "I want to go home mommy". We waited a bit and then we got go home. He was so sad and out of it and the whole way home he kept saying "I'm dizzy mommy" and "What happened to me mommy". Sweet boy. Good thing he doesn't remember any of it.
He is now the proud owner of clean pearly whites with sealants on all his teeth, except for the two silvers crowns he has which we all so lovingly refer to as his "treasure teeth" or "pirate teeth". He will show you if you ask!
Apparently the doc said when his teeth were developing they didn't have the right minerals or something. So that combined with very close together teeth equals disaster. Hopefully the sealants and religious brushing and flossing will get us through his baby teeth without too many more bumps.
As for the rest of the day - I came home and got things a little more put together here. Lu came over and watched the little ones while I went to Drew's school to volunteer/observe for a couple hours. It was fun to see him in his element. He was not big on the idea of me coming to lunch with him, but he warmed up after a while. I had fun and can't wait to go back.
The rest of the fluttered by. Being up since 4:30 takes a toll on the body and mind. Cookies seem to make everything a little better....so that is what we did!
