A rough day at the office...

The dentist office that is. My oldest had to have his top tooth extracted due to infection. This tooth got bumped when he was about 2 when he fell and it didn't get infected until last week when the new tooth was coming in. Getting this tooth pulled was a harrowing experience. The dentist kept pumping him full of Novocaine, but he still kept hollering. He wasn't in pain, just the pressure that was bothering him (or so she said). I've never had a tooth pulled while I was awake and after watching that I have no desire to do so. His daddy and I thought we were going to lose it. Between closing our eyes to pray and having tears fill them, we held his hand and kept telling him it would be over soon. My tough little guy made it and although he didn't eat for about 24 hours, he's pretty much back to normal. He went to school today and came home and got in his pajamas. We played board games and just hung out until he collapsed around 7:30 p.m. Even though my son doesn't believe in the tooth fairy, we still left a gold dollar coin under his pillow...of course after buying him new tennis shoes, football cards and a magazine yesterday. I swear I would have taken that kid to Disney World after that! Before the tooth came out....happy After the tooth came out.....not too happy Game night with the new shoes!
