He actully did really well with the procedure. I decided he would not be receiving anesthesia from the dentist in the office, and lo and behold, it was not necessary. Not only more safe, but also as it turns out, much cheaper. Anyhow, the dentist was SHOCKED Ethan was able to do it. I was less surprised.
The first few hours of recovery were the worst--at first his mouth was so numb he could hardly swallow--and then the pain kicked in. But he managed with ice and ibuprofen, and by Saturnday night even felt well enought to hang out with some friends.
Sunday, he had a piano recital, and that also went quite well, all things considered. Alaina managed to avoid it, as she had a softball tournament......
Kudos to Ethan for powering through it!
