One Year and Ten Months Old

He's SO Smart!

One Year and Nine Months Old

Daniel had major oral surgery! (actual date: 10/4/08) He had 11 teeth worked on all on the same day. The dentist took him to a surgery center and had him put to sleep. He performed about an hour and a half of surgery and Dan had about 50 minutes of wake-up in recovery. He had 11 teeth worked on and the front two DID NOT need root canals as we had been told! His mouth was a little sore and his hands and arms looked like pin cushions – they had trouble getting an IV in…But surgery went very well. Daniel's recovery was amazing. He was groggy and sore for a few hours, but by evening he was running around the back yard! He had a few days of soft foods and was sensitive for a few more days when brushing his teeth, but after four days he was completely back to his usual self. The dentist (I would refer anyone to him - he's wonderful), Dr. Crenshaw of Pediatric Dentistry of Prospect, was truly a blessing to us. If you want to know more, just ask - I will be happy to share our story!
