The past two weeks have been a rough two weeks, especially for Luke. Luke is a pretty resilient kid, seemingly with lots of energy but he has had some dental problems that have made his life miserable. He's making a funny face in this photo, only because we are hoping his dental problems are in his past now. A couple weeks ago, Luke had major dental work done. He had severe acid reflux that lasted long than it should have as a baby, which lead to deteriorated teeth. We had to crown some of his molars. One of which decided to cause further problems. In the middle of the night, an abscess decided to present itself. Of course these things always happen in the middle of the night on the weekends, which is exactly what happened. After antibiotics, it was decided that the tooth needed to go. So Luke had his first tooth pulled today.
He wasn't happy about having more dental work done, he wouldn't even look at the dentist, and I don't blame him. I don't want to look at the dentist either for the bill I have to pay him (or I should say the bill Gilbert will be paying). Luke was a brave little boy. He is all about breaking things down into steps. He knew his tooth was hurting him. He knew he wanted to make his tooth all better, and this was the only way. The poor kid has had to deal with enough already! So the first step was to be brave and get his tooth pulled. He was bribed of course, and now he is a much happier kid!
Here is hoping for a better dental future!
