Chloe had her wisdom teeth out yesterday morning. She has been uncomfortable, off and on, for about a year. The oral surgeon was able to show us on the x-ray why and give valid reasons for not delaying the procedure. So, yesterday at 9:30 AM Chloe had all 4 bone-impacted wisdom teeth removed. She asked to keep them and the doctor obliged. (ugh!) We're not sure exactly what she will do with them. Uncle Michael suggested making a necklace.
Chloe tolerated the anesthesia and pain medicine beautifully! She was pretty miserable for about an hour - the time between when the novacain wore off and the medicine kicked in. Poor thing was starving but the food options are slim. She slept most of yesterday and all night. I stayed long enough this morning to give her the next dose of medication and instructions for the rest of the day. She seemed quite comfortable with me leaving and she will text me if she needs something.
We were discussing this procedure before EJ left on his trip and he asked when he was getting his wisdom teeth out. I told him I wasn't aware there was a problem. He said the last time he was at the dentist they mentioned it to him and he just assumed they would tell me the same information. If they did, I blocked it out. But it looks like we might be doing this again in the near future. Oh Goody.
