Anderson's Dental Procedure

We went to have Anderson's cavities filled this morning. Our appointment was at 7:15am and therefore we had to WAKE our little man to get there in time (we never have to wake him for anything!) As soon as we get there, they give him a little grape 'cocktail'. The nurse told me to watch him in and that in about 15-20minutes he would become 'groggy' - that's not an adjective I'm very aware of in a 3 yr old. Sure enough, he starts stumbling and became very 'busy' (according to Anderson). With that I gathered him on my lap to read some books as he became more and more sedated. They came and took him back (Mommy couldn't go) and I didn't see him again for another hour or so. They said he did great but that he wasn't as sedated as they would of liked and therefore they took a bit longer than usual. After getting him home I layed him down for a nap, we read one book and as I was going to get him a 2nd book per his request, he fell asleep. I layed down with him for a couple of hours to get a little rest myself and to also keep an eye on it. He's still resting - poor little guy. The drug they used induces some sort of amnesia so he won't remember the cavities being filled. Thanks goodness. Thanks for everyone's prayers and good thoughts for my little man (& me too!).....
