Tooth Surgery

Well it is official my little guy, JT, has to have his front tooth pulled. After his older sister hit him in the mouth with the swing and pushed the tooth back we have been keeping an eye on it with bi-weekly visits to the dentist and the tooth has turned brown and will have to come out. I am so upset, one because he has to have the tooth removed and he isn't going to understand what is happening, two, because he has to have a shot that will basically paralyze him for 20 minutes so that they can do the procedure and, three, for the close to $1000 bill we have for getting the tooth out and having a fake tooth made to put in its place, yay! I am such a freak about anesthesia, it just freaks me out, I don't like the thought of it, I had my wisdom teeth pulled with just a local because I refused to be put to sleep and I refused to have my tonsils out for the same reason when I was told I needed them removed. I just love my little boy so much and it scares me to think something might happen. I started crying in the dentist office when they handed me the waiver for the anesthesia. I will have trust in God though because we have no other choice. And we plan to thoroughly spoil him this weekend after he gets it done.
