Josh's surgery

Josh had all four of his wisdom teeth taken out yesterday. We had to be at the hospital by 8:30 yesterday morning to get signed in and get him prepped. He had taken a Valium the night before and that morning so that was helpful as well as funny that he was so relaxed. The surgery took about 2 1/2 hours and went well overall. They had a few complications one being that they had to cut into the jaw bone to get one of the bottom teeth removed safely.

On the way home Josh needed to get a milkshake or something to eat so he could take his medicine. Strawberry milkshakes are his favorite but we ended up having to go to three different places to finally find one that the machine was working and they had strawberry.

He is actually recovering better than the surgeon said he would - at least as of now. I know that it may get rougher later in the week. But so far things are going well- lots of ice packs, drugs, and milkshakes. Thanks for your prayers and we will keep you posted.
