Who would've thought getting 2 tiny cavities filled would be such an ordeal?!

Jakob was scheduled to have his work done yesterday morning. They are going to sedate him so he can't eat or drink after midnight (ever tried telling a starving 5yr old that he can't eat?!). Yesterday's appointment was at 7:30, which worked out great. I let Jake sleep until 7am, got him up, brushed his teeth and took him to the office. We get there and find out Dr. S is out sick so we reschedule for today, but the earliest appointment is 8:30.

Fast forward to this morning. Joshua was kind enough to wake Jake & I up at 6:30. I was able to keep the boys occupied with a movie until about 7:30 and then Jake started asking for breakfast. I told him he couldn't eat this morning because Dr. S didn't want him getting sick while he was fixing his teeth. "Ok Mom." Of course, 30 minutes later as I was checking his brushing job before we left I see popcorn residue in his teeth. Great. He had snuck 3 pieces of popcorn while I was brushing Kenna's hair. I have a hard time being angry with him because I know he must be starving.

We get to the dentist and I tell them about the popcorn and Dr. S says he can't give him the sedative now. Since Jake ate solid food, he now has stomach acids churning and if the sedative makes him sick he could aspirate the acids. Apparantly there's a 60% chance of death. 'Nuff said.

So now we've rescheduled. They've given McKenna's appointment on the 19th to Jake and moved her appointment back a week. We're supposed to get there at 7:00 so hopefully we can avoid any food run-ins.

Wish us luck!
