Here's a picture of Billy's new silver crowns-there are two on opposing back teeth (upper and lower on his right). The doctor was surprised that he didn't have any cavities that required additional attention. He did have sealants put in the deep crevices of his baby teeth. The two in the back were pretty bad with decay and required a baby root canal and then caps. I'll have to monitor his brushing more closely. And you'll be glad to know Billy is now an expert flosser.
As for the procedure, Billy did well. He did wake up pretty upset because mom wasn't there and they put in an IV while he was under anesthetic. He woke up pretty quickly and gulped his apple juice down and then took a little nap. When he woke up we went home and on returning home he threw up all of that apple juice in the staircase. Yuck! He's feeling much more normal tonight and I need to start getting everyone calmed down for bed. Thanks for all of your prayers and concerns. And a special thanks to Carl and our home teachers for the pre-surgery blessing.
