We are so blessed to have such a easy going child. He did amazing! Not one tear was shed. He was so happy and calm. I think we have a future paramedic or doctor on our hands. He was excited he was getting an IV.
Let me give you the run down on why T had to have so much work done on his teeth...and why at the surgery center not the denist office.
Some of his baby molars didn't form well..exact reason unknown. There are many possible causes: he had lots of ear infections as a baby. In return this causes high fevers and fluid sitting on top of his forming teeth. To add to that they just figured out he has acid reflux. It has been eating away at his teeth causing them to break down and get soft. On a positive side acid reflux is easily fixed with a perscription. After his surgery yesterday he shouldn't need anymore work.
They ended up putting caps on 9 teeth...2 permant molars and 7 baby molars. Since he needed so many it was just easier on him to do it at the surgery center. This way they can put him under anethesia and get it all down at once. He has a tiny mouth and it's hard for them to get in there while he is awake and moving around.

After he took his "Giggle Juice." He was making Matt and I laugh hysterically. At one point he look at the wall and said" Awe Dad! You painted the walls my favorite color....Blue!" There wasn't any blue on that wall...too funny!
Little Man after his surgery! Poor guy...he was so out of it. The first thing he said "Mom I want to see my caps!"
When we came home from surgery this package was on our porch! Colt and Mrs.Ang dropped this off for T. We have such sweet friends!
It had lots of goodies in it:
Jello
Applesauce
Mac & Cheese
Chicken Noodle Soup
Twinkies
Cotton Candy
Stickers
slinky
and the sweetest card!
I wanted to say a big THANK YOU to all of our friends/family! Thank you for all the prayers,calls and texts checking on T and our family!
