Awwwwwwwwwwwwww! That my friends is a sigh of relief. Zach had his dental surgery yesterday and after a long day of recovery, he is back to his normal self today!\u00a0\u00a0 I am going to write out the details so that 15 years from now I can remember.<\/p>\n
We arrived at the surgery center exactly at 6am. Granny and Pawpaw came over really early to pick up Lily and Kendall. We were the first ones at the surgery center so the first part of waiting was quick, by 6:20 we had been taken back into the pre-surgery waiting rooms.\u00a0 Zach refused to have his weight checked, so I ended up standing on the scales with him, more good news I had lost 2 pounds!\u00a0 Zach was not at all cooperative with anything that need to happen. He didn’t like the socks, didn’t want to change shirts, and he didn’t want to take any medicine.\u00a0 We ended up waiting close to 45 minute in this room and by the end he had adjust to everything and I got about half of the medicine in him which started making him sleepy so he was not horrible leaving with the nurse for surgery. The dentist spoke with us and talked about really trying to save all his teeth. Zach left crying with the nurse and we went to the waiting room.\u00a0 We did receive a call about 5 minutes later that he was asleep and didn’t cry long.\u00a0 I am guess this was about 7:30. Around 9 the dental assistant came out to tell us that they were not able to save the front two teeth.\u00a0 Matt and I were both disappointment but we decided to be positive with Zach so he would not think it was a bad thing.\u00a0 At 9:30 the dental assistant return to give us discharge instructions.<\/p>\n
Less than 10 minutes later, we were escorted back to the recovery area, Zach was upset because he had pee and wanted his mom.\u00a0 After changing him and calming him down we headed home around 10:40am.<\/p>\n
Zach was very medicated when we brought him home, he was seeing neat things in the car, had trouble holding his head up and was very very slow eating his ice cream. The effects lasted the rest of the day. Zach attempted to stand up out of the car seat and\u00a0 “fell on his but and could not get up.”\u00a0 We had to carry him around for at least 2 hours. Zach would stand up and you could see his body leaning and falling. Around noon, Lily and Kendall came home and we all took naps.\u00a0 After the nap, Zach could walk around but still was tired and laid around most of the day.<\/p>\n
Today, he is going full steam ahead with two missing teeth!<\/p>\n
