toothology

this is how #3 greeted us last friday morning. he woke up with a severely abscessed tooth!

i dealt with the immediate issues:calling the dentist, taking a picture to send to my dentist friend, getting him started on pain meds and abx. (med school is SO paying off around here!) but as soon as the urgent part was over, i had a full body reaction to how terrible he looked! the world started to spin, my ears began ringing, my mouth watered, all the color drained from my face! i literally had to get down on my hands and knees and crawl to bed to keep from vomiting.

please pray the meds work fast! we are visiting the dentist on friday to have the tooth extracted...pray for that too! :)

even looking like this he managed a smile!
