This is Rory's, Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Marley and Logan working on theirs.
Logan's Our Lady of Fatima
Marley's Our Lady of Lourdes
Last Wednesday we had a new experience with Logan have teeth extracted. Since we have new insurance, and I like the kids' new dentist, we decided to let her take his teeth out, without putting him to sleep. Normally we would have put him to sleep because he needs four adult teeth out, but I trust this lady. Marley went with me, and it wasn't that bad. While she numbed him, I told him the story of his birth. While the extraction was happening, I told about him as a baby.
There was a moment when it was getting intense and the dentist started singing to him herself to help calm him. She sang Tomorrow, Tomorrow. There was a third tooth that was right next to one she was taking, and it was hanging on by a thread. She was worried that he might accidentally swallow it when he was numb, so she took that one too, and didn't charge for it.
When we put him to sleep last time to take out 5 baby teeth, it cost us over $1500 out of pocket. These five teeth with this dentist will cost us a total if $44. He's still healing and apparently the tooth fairy pays more for adult teeth. That's what the dentist says and it has been proven true. We put each tooth in a separate cup. Here it was the next morning.
The fairy was male, hence the blue water. Logan asked to keep the teeth, and he asked the fairy's name. This one was Raffie. One of this teeth's roots was dyed too.
Doesn't that look crazy?!
St. Nora of teeth, pray for us! (totally joking of course)
Yeah, Raffie gave Logan $11 bucks for his teeth this time around. He's still hurting which is rather odd and hopefully he gets better soon.
ReplyDeleteThe "Our Lady's" turned out really well. The kids did a good job coloring them and making them pretty.
