5.45PM I send the kids down the stairs a head of me so I can gather the bags and all.
5.46 PM Chase is screaming at meets me half way on the stairs. He is holding a hand full of blood and I can not tell where it is coming from
5.47PM Chase is in the tub stripped down and I am throwing water on him with him hanging from my body trying to figure out where the blood is coming from...Chase baby - Where does it hurt? I finally get a shaky hand onthe mouth. OH *&^&%$!!!!!!!!!!
5.48-Until almost 6 - I try to get someone anyone to answer the phone to come drive me to the ER with him...
Joe finally gets home and ATT apparently was having issues that night because he was like I will have to call you back LATER I can't hear you. Oh no the hell you will not - You need to get the F home! NOW!!!
Chase rides in the front seat with me ... we are placed in a room with a gentleman that I am sure passed away soon after we were sent home.
The DR and his student come in and Joe and I decide that the best thing to do is POP the teeth back up in place until in the morning and for me to call the Ped Dentist and get him seen ASAP. The DR tells me to check Chase all through the night to make sure the teeth did not fall out. So I think I had about 10 minutes of sleep....
So I call Children's Dental of Atlanta the next morning, a super super nice lady helps me with all the insurance stuff, which of course was drama filled since I was after all dealing with my employer (that is for another post) any how we get it all taken care of. We see a dentist and the long story short he was an ASS - we will never go back there. Alot of people take there kids there but I will not. So I leave in tears that this man wants to pull my 2 year old's front 4....
The kids fall asleep in the car post CDA so it was right close to my mom's so I went to their house and parked in the yard and let the kids sleep...(I was in the car, it was not cold or hot, I turned the car off and cracked the windows and tried to calm down and figure out our next move). During all the CDA drama I call my mom and tell her the deal. She calls my step dad who is friends with a popular dentist in Douglasville. This dentist does not see kids any longer but as a favor to Scott and Chase he told us to bring him in and let him look at the teeth so if they did indeed need to come out we could find a new dentist and continue on. Popular Dentist says the do not need to come out right then that he would wait a month and then see what is going on with them and suggest some dentist. I went home - and one of the dentist was on our insurance so I made an appt.
May 2009 - Chase goes for a 6 mo. post teeth vs stairs deal. The dentist is stunned when I tell them that CDA wanted to pull the teeth and not wait until all healed and go for there. She says that everything looks good the gum line is so high that it will most likely cause an issue and for us to keep a watch on it...
Feb 2010 - Check up time...(we were supposed to go in NOV, ooopps). The dentist decides that one tooth is dead and is loose to the point it may fall out on its own and the other the root is getting an infection.
I cried once again- not sure why...I knew in the back of my mind it was time. Anyway the tech stopped me on the way out the door and says why don't you get him a partial....LIGHT BULB! duh, why did I not think of that?
So On March 26 - Chase's front 2 teeth will be pulled and replaced with a Pedo-Partial that will look similar to this:
Now, We just have to start talking to him about it. The D said that if he seems like he is okay they will do it all in the same day otherwise he will have to come back. I prefer that they do it all at the same time so one recovery and all...
I will keep you all posted and please send prayers for Chase-y Man!
Oh, PS I say the stairs won this round! Well all almost all the rounds!
