Carson Wisdom Teeth Out

 Carson got his wisdom teeth out on Oct 24, 2014.  He had quite an ordeal leading up to getting the surgery.  He had to be fasting, but when we got there and read the patient info about the surgery (details about blood and pain), he started feeling really queasy.  Poor guy, he does not do well with anything dealing with blood or sickness!  So he felt sick to his stomach and started throwing up.  Once he started throwing up, he couldn't seem to stop!  The surgeon was concerned--wondering if he might have a stomach bug.  They waited a little while, and then suggested rescheduling for another day.  I was adamant that they go ahead and proceed.  Carson was only queasy because he was nervous and then read all that stuff about blood oozing and dry sockets.  So finally they gave him some anti-nausea medication in his IV and that settled him down and then he felt fine and went to sleep and the surgery went great!  He wasn't talking much nonsense after surgery.  He's such a good patient!  After Charlie's drama complaining of being in pain so much, Carson's recovery was much faster and he didn't really complain at all.  Sweet boy!
