Levi's week

 

 

Our sweet little Levi heading into the dentist office... not having a clue as to what was ahead...

(Sorry for the not so great pictures... all taken on my cell... for what it is worth... the I phone takes WAY better pictures than my samsung galaxy:))

 



 

 

We have been so blessed to find a great dentist here in Illinois... before we moved we were told that Levi had some cavities that needed to be filled and this dentist confirmed that a few weeks back...  (The OK doctor, whom we loved as well, told us that he may need to have them worked on in the hospital because he was so young... hello, that would have been crazy and been so much more involved than what we were told we could do here.) 

We were so thankful to be able to take care of it in the office.

 

I am so so very thankful that I had Greg come with today. 

 

They strapped him in this little papoose deal and went to work... only it didn't go exactly as we anticipated... surprisingly one tooth had an infection and either needed a baby root canal or to be pulled... So our little guy is down one tooth... I left the room and both Greg and Levi handled it like champs... He was such a little trooper all day... and enjoyed the extra ice cream that he got to eat...

 

But honestly, this mama's heart hurt... I hurt for my little guy!  I can  not tell you how much I love him... He is as sweet as pie and I was praying like crazy when we had to make a quick game time decision that we hadn't expected to...

 

(It is really odd that he has some of these tooth problems... none of our kids have had anything like it... he didn't go to bed with a bottle or anything that would lead to this... I even asked if it could have anything to do with him being the result of a frozen embryo adoption... even the dentists really don't know... I know God knows and made him perfectly!!! :)

 



 

He seriously has the most beautiful eyes and lashes...

 

Levi has had quite the week.  We also had his speech evaluated earlier this week.  He tries so hard to talk, is talking a lot more than he was 2 months ago, but it just still didn't seem like he was where he should be.  He will carry on and on sometimes, but not that much of what he says really makes any sense. 

 

So needless to say, we are really thankful that he will be able to get some help soon.  (He gets frustrated and angry because he wants to talk and can't:(  We feel bad that we can't understand him.    And I am hoping that they will help me be able to help him better at home.  I think I just need the tools and to know how to help him progress! 

 

So it has been a big week Levi...

 

We are so thankful for this little man and have a really cool story about someone we met at the dentist's office today... totally a neat God thing to put us there at the same time... I can't wait to share!:)
