We are Home!

So Coulson woke up at 2:30 am to have a drink...he can't have one because he is not allowed anything after midnight because of his early morning proceeder at the hospital. He is upset -- and decided to be stubborn and stays awake ---- until he is at the hospital! So Kirk and I are up from 2:30 am this morning. He cried when they took him into the room for the oral surgery. I cried walking back to his hospital room. I laid down and tried to rest a bit while we waited. It was about 7:45 am when they took him back and about 9:30 am when we were taken to the recovery room. they could not get him to calm down. He was very loopy and not awake completely - but he could feel the splint that was on his right arm that was keeping his arm still with the IV in it. He was crying and trying to get it off. I had not eaten anything this morning at all - or had anything to drink and when he started waving his arm around blood started going up the IV. I got light headed and the had to wheel me to his room. I felt so stupid. But they immediately had Kirk carry him back to the room too and I laid in the bed holding him.
he was out of it for awhile. Kirk finally was able to ask him if he wanted to go for a walk and see the fishies in the lobby. That seemed to be the trick. They took off the splint and we headed down the hall.
We then came back to the room. He had also eaten part of a Popsicle before we went on our little walk. And when we got back he drank a little juice and had some ice chips.
Long story short --- he is doing ok and is asleep on my bed still.
The DDS had to do a root canal on his right front tooth and fill a cavity on the left front one. He then put a cap on both teeth. he put sealant on the molars and extra fluoride on the other front teeth. Coulson has to go back in two weeks for more fluoride on the front teeth. and to check the caps. It is just crazy that he drank juice form a bottle for only 4 months - we brushed his teeth twice a day and he still ended with a root canal!!! Amanda drank juice for 1 1/2 years and never had any problems with her teeth.
OH Well, I am just glad it is over. I hope Coulson is up and about tomorrow. Now, I need to go lay down and try to rest while he is sleeping still.
