We hit a bit of a rough patch at the beginning of the month because the last of Hunter's baby teeth decided to finally make its appearance. One of the most difficult times of Hunter's life was when he was cutting the majority of his baby teeth. I have never seen such misery. He would cry for hours on end and nothing we did could comfort him. He couldn't sleep and he'd throw up nearly every day from the pain being so intense. Finally we were able to get him some decent pain meds to take the edge off, but it was after several agonizing months of watching him suffer. (It took multiple trips to the doctor to convince them of how bad things were.)
My first clue that he was having tooth trouble again was the grinding. That is not a behavior that is typical and it was occuring all the time. Then the gum covering the tooth swelled up like a balloon. I took this picture just a few days before the tooth finally broke through. Luckily we had some loritabs on hand so we were able to moderate his pain. Thank heavens this was the last tooth that needed to come in.
I couldn't get my camera to zoom in close enough for really good before and after shots, but in this picture the tooth is finally through. I'm amazed at what a tough, brave son I have. I love you little man.
