Oral Surgery

Lancaster General Hospital by his side :-)
Today Little B had his two hour surgery to remove four teeth, extract the roots of four other teeth and have six teeth capped and take a panoramic x-ray. Dr. Aaron Miller did a great job and we are very thankful for the care and generousity that he has shown to us through his service. We are also very grateful for LGH coming alongside of us and covering his expenses and allowing us to use their facility! The staff was wonderful :-) Dr. Miller said that if we had not taken steps to intervene, he may have lost all his baby teeth, and his adult teeth could have been damaged as a result.


Dr. Aaron Miller, DMD (kidscowboydentistry.com) gave Little B a stuffed pony saying, "Hey Buddy, this if for you!" Everyone was very gentle and giving in the way the treated Little B. We were touched by the generosity, care and cheerfulness as they all gave of their time, especially Dr Miller who gave his time and talents to serve a child of God in a great way!

It was a long day for our little guy. He was woken up at 5:00 am and then taken to the hospital where he was changed into his cute little whale hospital gown, and cheerfully went to the Patient Care Assistant, saying "I love you!" and a big "HI" to everyone at the nurses station. He managed to capture everyone's heart while he waited with a big smile on his face, bouncing and clapping his hands and saying, "I love you!" to everyone who came into the room. His post surgery outlook was a little less optimistic as it was clouded by pain and tears. Abigail and Mama were with him and comforted and loved him as much as they could. By nightfall, there were a few little lines ushered forth in song as he tried to sing even though he wasn't 100% himself.
But all in all, the surgery went very well, and he now has a new and improved mouth :-) Thank you to everyone who cared for him today and everyone who stood behind him in prayer!!! Even this little child does not go unnoticed by the eye of our Creator who loves him in unspeakable ways and reaches down to touch him through the lives of those around him :-)
