Post-Op Report

Seth had his dental surgery today. He had all but 8 teeth pulled due to significant decaying.

They were able to save four molars by putting crowns on. And four canines made the cut and stayed intact.
I was worried that he'd wake up from surgery and be terrifed because he didn't know where he was, why his mouth was numb, or in pain.

He did well, although all of those things above were true. He eventually fell back asleep at home (and Sheena took advantange of the situation).


He woke up and asked for lunch. He downed a strawberry popsicle with remnants of an orange popsicle still fresh on his pants.

He seems to be recovering well. He's up in the playroom running the dump truck back and forth across the room. Apparently no one told him he was supposed to still feel groggy and tired.

Anyway - just wanted to provide an update for those who might be checking here. Thanks for the prayers and good thoughts.

Killing Time

We had some time to kill before a doctor's appointment yesterday so we stopped at a city park.

The Story of a Pancake

Pancakes are one of Seth's favorite things. He asks for them regularly and is getting smarter about his request. Instead of saying, "Pancake?", like he used to, he now says, "Seth pancake five?" When translated this means, "Dearest Father, if you would be so kind as to prepare five pancakes, I will be so grateful."

John made his day on Saturday morning by making him an extra-large one.

This is the story of a pancake. Enjoy.

(As a sidenote - sorry for the delay in updating posts. I've been trying for several days to download a video of Seth reading a book. Several hours have been spent - and as it turns out - wasted on this attempt. John says he'll take a stab at it soon. Stay tuned - it'll be worth the wait.)
