Caleb's Teeth

Bless his heart, Caleb has the worst teeth. He brushes, flosses, rinses - nothing helps. He has new cavities every time we go to tha dentist. Next week he has to have two teeth extracted. One of his teeth literally crumbled out of his mouth and the one behind it has a huge cavity to the point where the nerve is exposed. He is having significant pain when he eats so the teeth have to come out. The one that crumbled left a piece in his gum so it has to be cut out. He will have to be sedated. Not just gas, the good stuff, the Versed / Fentanyl coctail. Fabulous. I say if you have to have oral surgery, it is definitely the way to go. The surgeon Caleb's dentist sent us to is really nice. His dentist is great, too. The not so great part of all this is that I have to pay $400 out of pocket for the anesthesia. Ugh. Thankfully, October is a 3 payday month so I do have the extra cash. Thank you, Jesus! His dad is supposed to split this stuff with me 50/50, but you know how that goes...

Anywho, gotta run. Love y'all!
