Well, it's been a crazy week here. We started off last weekend with a great baseball game and then we went to King's Dominion for Scout Bash 100. We got to do some water rides and then saw a concert put on by scouts celebrating the 100th birthday of the Boy Scouts of America. It was so cool. Jake loved it.
But then we hit the snag of the week. Jake's tooth. On the way home that night, he said his tooth hurt. It got worse the next day. Jake even played baseball with it, but as we were sitting out a rain delay, Jake's pain got worse. The game was cancelled due to the heavy rain and we went to an urgent care center to see about Jake's tooth. They gave him antibiotics but wouldn't give him anything stronger for the pain.
Luckily, we got in early the next morning at the dentist. Jake had been up the night before in really bad pain. Sure enough, his root canal from last November had abscessed. The dentist wanted to keep an eye on it. He didn't want to pull it, because those teeth are needed to hold their spots for the permanent teeth. Again, nothing for the pain as he was sure it would get better.
Next day, Jake misses his second day of school, because he was so tired and swollen. I could have made him go, but it is SOL time and I was barely keeping on top of the aching pain. So I kept him out. Surely, he would be back in school on Wedesday.
Wednesday, Jake wakes up with his face very swollen. Even his eye! The pain isn't that bad, but he is uncomfortable. I called the dentist and they said come on in. His abscess spread to the next tooth which was a root canal also from the same time. Now both have to be pulled, but he couldn't do it due to the swelling.
So Thursday, Jake goes to school. By the way, Jake did play in his baseball games. He wanted to play so bad and I was able to medicate him so that he felt okay. He did great during his games. We are in the final four of the playoffs and Jake is excited to play again Thurs. night.
He comes home from school complaining of back pain and also of some stomach cramping. In just a short while, he is not feeling well and falls asleep. So no game for Jake!
That night he wakes up at 2 am vomiting and his stomach and back hurt so bad. I almost take him to the ER, but we wait it out to call the dentist. Turns out Jake had a reaction to the antibiotics. So we are off of them for a while and watching the swelling. Jake should have his teeth pulled on Wednesday. I hope that ends it for him. He has really suffered. Poor guy!!!!
