If you didn't think so then, I will tell you now, Our son Skyler James Caughlin is so remarkably strong it's unbelievable! He's doing so great, it makes a cold look measly. Can you say SUPER MAN!?! Nothing hurts, hes fine he says. I have learned to read him that he's probably telling me the truth too. When he gets cranky, awnry then I know that maybe he's sore. But as of yet today, only his antibiotic.
We were in Seattle today at 9am for some x rays and a check up. The x rays looked rather cool I am going to try and snag some next week to show you. It's crazy to look at, even just at his teeth, where the 6 teeth on the bottom were pulled in Jan, 9 are trying to come threw there!! its like they are all pointed in that direction, one fighting the other to poke through some open space. And in the back of the jaw you can see the space where its made an opening. I didn't get exact measurements today, but its defiantly visible to the eye on x ray.
I have to tell you a funny story. So the dental assistant was cleaning up Skyler's screw sites and asking me questions She says "So mom, how are you cleaning these?" I looked at here and said, "A tooth brush..." She stops a minute looks at me, I think to my self wrong answer? "Well I make him rinse with water after each meal as well" She interrupts and says "I hope its a soft one" I told her it wasn't any different, we weren't told he needed a special brush, THEN I realised she was actually talking about the sites where the distractor comes out...duh. She thought I was a mean mommy!! Could you imagine scrubbing his chin with a tooth brush, HELLO!! LOL
anyways, that's been my excitement for the day. Dr. Egbert said we could increase our turning too 1 full turn twice a day now which is nice, he says it would put us a day ahead or so (it's just a mm tho, can't be too much of an advance right?)
And we go back again next Thursday...Yippee. They will take the rest of the steri stips off if they haven't fallen off by then, so it will look less "surgical"
Talk to you all later, if I don't report much these next few days, no news is good news and I hope you all have a great Memorial Day Weekend! Can you believe its NEARLY summer already!! YEAH!!
