Today Ben and I made a visit to the orthodontist.
It was one that I'd been dreading for many months now.
Last spring we went to the hospital during the Spring Break to have
his tonsils and adenoids removed. Today was scheduled for the removal of seven impacted teeth.
Years from now, when he smiles with a perfect set of beautiful
teeth, we'll say that this is all worth it.
I'm just glad that part is over with. I felt like he needed me in
there with him. But it's still so hard to be calm and watch him
go through all that. The most horrible part was our last visit
when they made the mold of the top teeth. He could only breathe
through his nose, which he's not used to. Panic struck and I
almost lost it when he started changing colors, and the nurse was
trying to get him to breathe. It was quite traumatic.
Now he's sleeping, after eating two big containers of mashed potatoes and gravy from KFC.
