Oral Surgery....DONE!!!

Oh how I wish Larry's teeth genes would have been the dominant genes but sadly they weren't.  My kids all got my genes when it comes to their tiny mouths and crooked teeth.  Three of my kids have met Dr Greg Roberts.  Braxton, Kimleighel and Jared have all had teeth growing sideways in the roof of their mouth and needed a button and chain on them to pull them into place.  Jared's surgery went really well and smooth.  He shouldn't have problems.

If I had to have a job I would love to be the one there when the patients wake up from their surgery. The meds make them a bit silly.  Every one of my kids has reacted differently.  Braxton was groggy and kind of sick to his stomach.  Kimleighel was silly as can be.  She saw pink unicorns and was talking and laughing at how silly she sounded.  She kept saying "I love this feeling".  Jared was more like a zombie...that was how Ivy described him...which fit.  He couldn't wake up and moved very slowly.  His limbs were heavy you could tell because he had a hard time lifting his arm or head.  We sat for over half an hour waiting for him to come to.  I gave him my iPad hoping that would help and it did.  At first he could hardly move his finger to play but gradually got better.  When we tried walking him out he was really having a hard time "planting" his feet on the ground and holding his weight.  We had to sit him down and wait a little longer.  He didn't say anything...no words at all from this kid.  He reminded me of myself.  I have a hard time coming to when I am put out too and I'm usually sick as well.  Oh I'm so glad he wasn't sick!  Ivy and I have enjoyed helping him out.  He was really dizzy and so to get around he crawled. I'm glad because he can't get hurt too bad by crawling.

I would like to say we will only see Dr Roberts if we ran into him outside of the office but that might not be the case.....we still have wisdom teeth that might need some help.  I would like to mention that Larry still has his wisdom teeth...his mouth has room and his teeth have always looked nice.  There is a reason I don't gamble.  Who'd have thought that out of 7 offspring not one would get their daddy's mouth and teeth?  Sorry Children....I blame my dad...who blames......not sure who he blames....not sure who started it!
