The special dentist

 Max had a few cavities that needed to be filled.  The Dr decided we should take him to the surgical center and have him go under general anesthetist.  We were able to work it so Max was the fist of Dr Bowers patience's for the day.  We had to be in Orem at 6:15 this morning. He couldn't eat anything after 7pm.  It was really sad when he asked for milk and we had to tell him no.  He would just say, "uh oh".

Kendall got to sleep at grandma Kizzy's so we wouldn't need to worry about him.  He is really picky about sleeping in his bed so...we took his mattress and bedding to grandmas and got him really tired so he would care a little less.  He slept through the night!  Way to go Kendall.

Max was great to get up early and didn't complain too much.  When we arrived there was some paper work to fill out but Max found the kids nook and read some books.  I think he memorized "brown bear brown bear".  When they called him back they gave him a t-shirt to wear.  So glad it had a brown bear on it.

After talking to the Dr's, they brought around a wagon and Max left with them.  

Curtis and I were having a hard time staying awake in the peaceful lobby so he left to get us some breakfast. They have a sign that says no food or drink in the surgical center.  Good rule cause if I had to go with out food for 12 hours and someone was eating in front of me...well I might get irritable.

Curtis ate in the car then came to switch me places.  When I was out eating, I saw Curtis signal me in. 

Max was finished and was starting to wake up.  We had another meeting with the Dr and I could hear Max start to cry.  It took them a minute but they wheeled him over to us.  He cried for about a half hour before they let us go home. 

He cried the whole way home and then was happy after the thew up and dad made him a bed on the couch.  He was back asleep in less than 15 minutes.  So was I.

Curtis left to get Kendall and Max's meds.  Max woke up just after 11 and was back to our being our happy little boy.  He is curious about his new teeth and sticks his finger in his mouth regularly to check them out.  His bite must be a little off because he keeps testing it.

I'm really relieved to be done with today.   Max did great, and Kendall had his first night without his mom.
