poor chris has had a rough dental year. here he is getting 3 cavities filled.
(today he'll have another few filled, stupid teeth!)
he thought it was so funny that he could only smile with half his mouth.
and then he had to have his wisdom teeth removed. they were impacted and 2 were completely sideways and pushing and moving his other teeth. we set up his appointment and then had to postpone it because we added an extra dental plan that wasn't effective until october 1. then his specialist went out of town and it just kept getting pushed back. he was, understandably anxious to get it done. we finally scheduled it for tuesday, october 15th. he was super nervous!
i was nervous too! i know how scary it is and then i started worrying about having to care for him. i don't do blood very well. anyhow, his surgery went so well that they determined he didn't need a follow up appointment. he walked out of the office like frankenstein, he was so out of it! he had a rough afternoon, he just couldn't get comfortable and didn't sleep at all. and then he was in a lot of pain, but didn't want to take his meds right away. it was a mess. but we got through it, yay!
here he is with his little buddy on day 2. he still didn't sleep in or nap at all, he's so weird! and he wanted to be upstairs where everybody hangs out, also weird. he got through at least one series on netflix, so at least it wasn't time wasted. ;)
matching cheekies.
still in a lot of pain and taking ibuprofen and oxycodone.
he ended up missing his high adventure camp and baseball game because he still wasn't feeling too good. he ate a lot of applesauce, yogurt and pudding. he stuck to dr's orders like a champ and didn't eat solids for a full 7 days. he still complains of food stuck in his wounds, but we're doing a million times better. phew! now if i could just get lexi to even go to a consultation!
she's not having any of it.
