My best wishes to Iseik and you, I am sure everything will be fine.  I think a very healthy supply of jelly and ice cream will be the order of the day for after the op

Jackie!!!!!!!!!! I just read about your little one! My prayers are with you, your family and your son! Have faith, I know he will be just fine.

First, I would like to thank everyone for their warm thoughts and encouragement!! I can’t tell you how much you all have helped me to be strong! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!  But...we’re not through this ordeal yet!!  :'( On Saturday, our dentist recommended that we go to a specialist (MD) to have this procedure done. That is were we were yesterday. When we arrived, more X-rays (let me tell you, Iseik is soooooo done with these).  But this one was pretty cool, takes a panoramic shot of your whole jaw! Well, the DR. studied it, counted Iseik’s teeth, and then recounted, and recounted again! He then came to the conclusion that Iseik has 3 adult top front teeth, instead of two! The DR. had an idea of what he wanted to do, but felt it would be necessary for us to get a second opinion. So he sent us to a pediatric dentist…had more X-rays, and she also came to the same conclusion…to take out the one tooth that had been jammed, take out the “extra” adult front tooth (since it has to be done eventually anyways), and the baby front tooth that still exists right now (to give the adult teeth room to grow out correctly). So back to the DR we went, thinking we were having it done. When we got there, the DR was in emergency surgery and admitted that he would feel more comfortable doing it another day (since he had a booked schedule, and hadn’t had lunch yet…it was about 1:30 pm, plus Iseik had been fasting and was getting irritated). So it has been rescheduled for tomorrow (Thurs) at 11:30. So may I pretty please ask for the happy thoughts to continue through tomorrow?  You all have been tremendously helpful!! I Thank You!!

My prayers are definately with you - none of my boys have needed surgery either though I dread the day it'll come (and it'll come, I know!) Here's a load of happy thoughts to get you through :
((((((((((((((((((HHHUUUGGG))))))))))))))))))))))

Oh, poor little guy. I know you all just want this over with...it will be soon and all will turn out just fine.  Just think, everything will be done by Harry Potter! Perhaps, if something like this had to happen, it isn't bad that it occurred during a summer when there is so much magic.

As always, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. 

[grecopa]

Uggg!  I know your whole family want's done with this whole ordeal.  Ok, same stuff from me and mine for tomorrow.

It's too bad he couldn't do it yesterday, but it's probably best to have a surgeon who isn't grumpy and hungry right before a procedure.   Best wishes for tomorrow, Jackie.

Jackie hope that the little guy is ok   I know what its like to have orrid things done to ones teeth I use to play Rugby as a kid and lost a number in that way   Kids are tough so I think he will be fine but it must be such a worry for you, will keep you all in our thoughts  

[mcgonagall]

Prayers and thoughts to you and the whole family. I know everything will work out for the best.

[HPfamily]

Thank you, thank you, thank you everone!!!!
I wish you knew how much hearing all of these
posts helps me!!!! You are wonderful!!!

Ok, same stuff from me and mine for tomorrow. 

OH COOL!! I was hoping so!!  Thank you!!!

I've been out of touch due to a family vacation.  Hope he's doing better now & gets through the surgery successfully!  It's good you've had so many opinions & X-rays - it sure helps knowing you're doing the right thing!

I don't know if you want to hear this, but this accident seems to be a blessing in disguise.  You found out about a problem that would have only gotten worse as time went by.  I had a similar problem with my teeth.  They were too big for my mouth.  My bottom eye teeth came in front of my other teeth.  I looked weird with upside down fang.  They had to remove two upper teeth or my upper eye teeth would have come straight out.  I can understand your son getting tired of dentist and x-rays.  I had double hip replacement this last year.  I was so tired of doctors and hospitals I could scream.  The waiting is always the worse.  Hopefully everything will be over tomorrow.  My prayers are still with you. 

[blackcat20]

Fingers and toes crossed for you Jackie! Im sure everything will go fantastically, and at least both problems will be fixed in one go!

[HPfamily]

Hey everyone!!  All is great here!!!
Everything went so smooth!! Iseik was such a brave boy!!!

I don't know if you want to hear this, but this accident seems to be a blessing in disguise. 

I totally agree!!!! Having found this extra tooth, something would have been done
eventually!! And this accident just pushed up the time to get it done!! 
The doctor actually ended up taking out 4 teeth!  Both baby eye teeth (one of those was the one that was jammed in his gum from the accident), his remaining baby front tooth, and the extra adult one they found in the X-ray! So he has a huge gap now!! I'll get a new picture up here of him.......as soon as he comes in from playing outside!!!!  I can't believe it!!!! He's out there playing light sabers with his brothers!!!  What a trooper!!! 

Thank you to each and every one of you!!!! All of your encouragements helped me make it through this!!!! I even received a huge compliment from the doctor on how strong I was for Iseik!!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Bet the Tooth Fairy is skint isn't she?! 
Gone are the days when it was six old pence (a tanner as they were affectionately known in olden times!  ) per tooth - the going rate here is £1 per tooth and £2 per molar!

Glad everything went well and you managed to keep it all together when you needed to.
I think perhaps seeing him playing outside will have made it so much easier for you too - kids are incredibly resililent!

HA!! You have no idea!!! On Tuesday, to try and "help"  comfort Iseik due to
visiting so many doctors, Dad promised him one new toy tractor (had to be John Deere's of course) for each doctor we saw!!!! So that day was three, (plus grandma HAD to get some too  ) and today was one! Iseik has made out pretty good so far without the tooth fairy!!! 

[Nienna]

oh heck!! hee hee hee ... just make sure none of the rest of you trip over all these tractors he's getting - don't want any more vistists to the doctors or dentists for anyone else! 
Kids soon cotton on that they can squeeze something out of their worried and over-anxious parents and grandparents in situations like these, but in all honesty what does it really matter - you'd do pretty much anything to get them through treatment like this and if it takes a tractor or three well I'm sure it will be worth it. 
Just be sure to get some really good clear photos of him with this huge gap in his front teeth so you have something to use as leverage should he become a brat with the the ladies and you have a wonderful, embarrassing pic to show his girlfriend! *mwahahahaha* 
Yes, I know he's only a littl'un but it's an opportunity too good to miss Jackie!

Glad that everything is okay and back to normal  now i think you should sit down and have a nice alcoholic beverage .

Kids!   I'm so glad everything went well and he's doing fine.

[RupT]

Hey Jackie,

Sorry buddy... i've only just come across this (obviously after sending my PM this morning)
Glad to hear the little tyke is doing well!!

I'm sending belated thoughts and prayers now!! I wonder if they'll have the same affect?

You're right, he does sound like a trooper!! He's out there (or was) playing with his brothers the same day of the surgery? WOW!!

Anyway, i'm glad it all went well!!

The Force is definately strong with him!! Is this the son that loves Maul too btw?
