Success!
You may remember this story of how Spencer had his two front teeth jammed up into his gums. Well, since that time, the teeth slowly dropped back down into place as predicted. Not predicted, however, was the complete deadening of cells and the potential absess and infection that could follow. Thus, the decision was made to have teeth surgically removed. It all happened this morning, and everything went smoothly. He was given anasthetic and the whole procedure took less than 30 minutes. Spencer was a trooper through the whole ordeal - positively happy all morning except for the 20 minutes in recovery where he had to keep an I.V. in his arm (he pointed to it and cried, "I have an ouchie.") He felt better upon learning he would be treated to a day of eating mostly jello and pudding. Erica was also cooperative, sleeping all the way until the above photo-op. Now, we're all at home enjoying our day off together and watching Spencer's teeth grow.
