Not Corey's Day

Poor Corey had kind of a rough day today.  He had a dentist appointment today and was supposed to get a filling done on one of his molars.  He was fine until they tried to put the nitrous mask on him at which point he freaked out and a screamed for about five minutes.  The tech held the mask over his face while he was screaming so inevitably he inhaled enough of the gas to calm down.  They put Cars on for him and he watched that while he breathed the gas and calmed down for a bit.  The dentist was able to come in and give him the numbing injections which he did fine with.  The part that freaked him out was when they tried to prop his mouth open with one of their little mouth proper things (I don't know what they are called).  He hated that!  He started screaming and crying and flailing like a crazy person.  The dentist tried about three times to get the dam on his tooth but he just would not hold still long enough to do it.  By this time he was so hysterical we decided we should probably call it a day and try again another time.  I picked Corey up and tried to cuddle him to calm him down a little bit but since he was numb he ended up biting the crud out of his cheek to the point that he was drooling/bleeding all over me.  We got some gauze to put in his mouth to keep him from biting his cheek again until he was no longer numb.  I asked about taking him back to school and the dentist advised against it because his mouth was going to be pretty sore once he got feeling back.  So I went and got Connor from school and we spent the afternoon at home.  Corey actually slept most of the way home in the car which was nice because I did not worry about him chewing his cheek while he was asleep. 

By this evening he seemed to be feeling much better and ate a ton of dinner!  When Terence got home he and the boys were wrestling, Terence picked Corey up to throw him onto the couch.  The cushion on the couch had moved just enough that Corey hit his head on the back of the couch and got a nice goose egg.  At that point we decided it might be a good idea to call it a night.  We took the boys upstairs gave them a bath and then I let them watch Survivor with me.  Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for my little guy.
