the wisdom teeth extraction

Anders had his wisdom teeth extracted yesterday afternoon. Emma and I accompanied him as he had to forego general anesthesia because he had eaten some cheese balls in the morning so he did have laughing gas in place of g.a.

We sat in the waiting room for about 25 minutes and came to see a jubilant boy saying it wasn't too bad and was being very loquacious on the ride home. He wasn't able to swallow water so nurse Emma attended to him throughout the evening.

The pain is getting worse and he is just hanging out in his room this morning. Evidently the pain will increase tomorrow so hopefully he will be feeling better after that and will feel up to eating and drinking. He just came upstairs and is making hand motions instead of speaking...I'm looking forward to hearing his voice again ;).
