Update
I love this little blogger link in my gmail toolbar. Makes it really easy to update my blog. Especially to keep Miss Alex happy. LOL!
Anywho, Alex's Surgery has been postponed til April 13th. The doctor has to go out of town the week he was supposed to have it in March. Which is good because I was getting back from Vegas 3 days before he was supposed to have his surgery. So that really woulda sucked.
Unfortunately, Frog boy now has to have "surgery" too. Dental surgery. Apparently the tooth that they drilled and filled when he was 3 has now absessed and has an infection behind the filling that is eating away at the adult teeth back there! This would be the one they strapped him to a board so they COULD drill and fill it instead of leaving the damned cavity, which wouldn't be nearly as bad as what they DID do at this point. The cavity would be a big improvement over having an infection that is eating away at his adult teeth! GRRRRR! So, now they are going to put him under, pull that tooth, put in a "spacer". They also have to put 2 crowns in 2 other teeth and drill and fill another tooth.
The child's teeth are horrible. It's SO not his fault. We have bad enamel. When I was in 3rd grade I had 8 cavities and my mother was a FANATIC about us brushing our teeth three times a day. So it's not his fault. I feel so bad for him. Poor thing. He's being a trooper about it though. He was more than a bit freaked about his tooth. But he really likes this new dentist and so do I. He kind a reminds me of DH. He had the sweetest pic of him and his daughter when she was a baby in his office. It reminded me of a pic I have of DH and Frog.

Oh Nicole, will you guys ever get a break? Poor guy. He's so brave.
Awww, poor guy. Too bad they didn't just pull the tooth in the first place. I hope he recovers quickly and that Alex's surgery goes well in April.
Emma seems to be lucky so far. Bad teeth run in dh's family. He has no canines at all. With her, so far so good.
Just think, you're getting all these surgeries squared away early. It should be smooth sailing from here, right?
