I had no idea October was Downs awareness month, or of the things you'll face as Micah gets his permanent teeth-- just never occurred to me.

I was touched by the struggle people were having with “why?” I went to bed with a heavy heart and awoke with this story. I hope you enjoy it.<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/secretjourneyLance Boldthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11240812989342948787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-23179580874159177612009-10-11T22:36:30.389-04:002009-10-11T22:36:30.389-04:00Kayla hasn't lost a tooth yet either, nor does...Kayla hasn't lost a tooth yet either, nor does she have a loose one as far as I can tell! I keep wondering when that is going to happen!<br /><br />She made it through her last exam ok, laying in my lap and letting the assistant do her thing with looking, brushing and flossing, but she has yet to get an xray done of her teeth - so I wonder what shape they are actually in!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441176684416139172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-60328458409239006032009-10-11T00:51:44.555-04:002009-10-11T00:51:44.555-04:00Sounds like Max. guess what, he is 8 years old an...Sounds like Max. guess what, he is 8 years old and not a single loose tooth. Sam is 6 and the same for her. The tooth fairy has never made it to our house yet!<br /><br />I have no idea how many tubes Max has had but it's lots!<br /><br />His heart rate usually dips pretty low during surgery as well. So yeah, fun times!JennyHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01016390364789296413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-65932357019158086552009-10-10T23:54:13.779-04:002009-10-10T23:54:13.779-04:00teething patterns are hereditary. they are! my ...teething patterns are hereditary. they are! my son, son of a dentist, was pulled out of school last week to fix many hereditary issues with his teeth. no fun , for my husband.OHmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712111068636100187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-10697190470657006522009-10-10T21:52:01.596-04:002009-10-10T21:52:01.596-04:00Yeah for such a great dentist!

Children's is very cautious. They reserved a PICU room for Goldie after her T&A surgery. One of the nurses asked why we were there. I felt guilty, like we were taking a room another child needed more. But, the hospital was FULL and if she had needed ICU care there would have been a wait for the room. So, I give 'em a thumbs up for being proactive.Brandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704697731192764110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-63522406461780233252009-10-10T10:02:35.827-04:002009-10-10T10:02:35.827-04:00Your dentist sounds like a real gem - hold on to h...Your dentist sounds like a real gem - hold on to him!
