Beckett's Dental Apt

Last week Beckett had a dental appointment.  Back in November Beckett went into his pediatrician for a sick visit.  Poor guy needed a breathing treatment in office he could hardly breath.  Every visit we come the Dr. is always check his breathing and he noticed this visit some discoloration on the back of his teeth.  Which can be a direct cause of the acid reflux he suffered from, causing cavities.  He suggested we get him in with a dentist.  Sure enough our dentist wanted to do fillings on the front and back of his front four teeth to prevent further damage and protect his teeth.  Because of Beckett's age they would do in office anesthesia.  There anesthesiologist comes from Lubbock and they were full for appointments in November and wouldn't schedule any tell the first of February.  So we waited.  Beckett had two follow up visits one with his pediatrician and another with the anesthesiologist to double check with his breathing issues and make sure he could handle being sedated.  Although there is always the possibility of complications.  Tuesday at 6:45 I took Beckett in.  I was with him tell he fell asleep, he was super calm.  He actually fought to stay awake trying so hard to lift his head.  His eyes fluttered until he gave up.  To see no life in him was concerning, but I kissed him good bye.  The plan was up to four hours worth of work.  They would X-ray, clean, and do the fillings.  Richard eventually joined me after dropping the kids off at school, bearing donuts and hot chocolate.  Over three hours and it was done, Beckett was in recovery.  The X-rays showed no permanent damage.  He took a while to open his eyes then he asked for mommy.  We went home with instructions and waited for Beckett to fully come out.  It took about two hours before he was completely awake.  It was fun seeing him try to walk to his room for his blanket, we watched a lot of TV that day.  Another big thing was to see if he could handle water.  He did!  Then it was a day of soft foods and noodles. At the end of the day I can't explain how much relief I felt.  I was actually really worried about my lil guy.  I love my Beckett boy and can't imagine life with out his lil personality running around with smiles and abundant hugs!
