Poor Baby and Minor Dental "Surgery"

The thing about our pediatric dentist is that they know....and I mean, Know...my child. Micah is two years old and rarely stays still for anything. He has weak enamel and a bad "sippy cup" habit. Now it caused two cavities on the top teeth. Caps were the only answer for those. And, at his age, he had to be put to sleep to have it done.

This meant an IV, gas mask and a breathing tube. Who knew that caps could get so complicated? I guess with my little man, everything can get complicated. haha!

And, wouldn't you know it? It all happens when Daddy is in Singapore. He misses all the good stuff.

After a bad night's sleep (he could not have anything to eat or drink after midnight), yucky "happy juice", and a very groggy, icky afternoon recovering, little Micah is in dreamland. I pray he sleeps all night! The nurse said the sedation could linger on for the next day or so. Poor thing can't get any energy....and that is very rare for him!

Here are a few precious pics from the "pre-surgery" room....right after they gave him his dose of happy juice! :)
