Toothless in Texas

Not as cool sounding as 'Sleepless in Seattle' but oh well.

Back on Easter of this year Blaine tripped over his shoes and fell into a rocking chair. (See blog dated 3/23/08) We have watched the progression of one of his front teeth turning from white, to purple, to grey to now nearly black. I could stand it no longer and took him to his new pediatric dentist. (An office staff from his old dentist claimed this was no big deal, just to 'watch it.' Still don't know what that means.)

Sure enough, next Monday he will have to have both front teeth removed due to a serious infection that has developed in the gum line. If we don't take the teeth out, it will surely cause more health problems and damage to his permanent teeth.

My only concern now is jealousy from older brother who has yet to give any offerings to the Tooth Fairy. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....
