AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I am so frustrated. Josh had two teeth pulled last week. As you can see from my previous blog, he was exposed to nitrous oxide during the procedure. I later found out that kids with special needs and on certain meds should not have this as it can have bad results. Well here we are a week later, still suffering from the consequences of our actions. Josh has not eaten but a few bites in the last week. He has had severe anxiety and panic attacks. We started this mess on Wed July 14th. He went to summer school and came home and fell asleep. Then he was very agitated when he woke up. He then ate a Popsicle and then threw up. Thursday we went to therapy, he was very agitated and freaked out when we left and drove home. This happens sometime so I did not think much of it at the time. Thursday night he still did not eat anything, sucked down his bottle and threw up again. Friday was awful, he was so anxious I could not leave the room he was in. Friday night was the worst, he started hallucinating and was freaking out and very violent and strong. He finally fell asleep after 3 hours of us holding him. He was up and down all night telling us that his tummy hurt and was very anxious. Saturday and Sunday he slept all day. He would not eat anything. Monday we took him to the hospital at Loma Linda. We spent 6 hours there. They did nothing, all they did was start an IV and give him a load of Depakote. His tummy is till hurting, he is still not eating, he is still anxious. We can't get anyone to help us. I really don't know what to do at this point. To top everything else off, we have a very serious IEP at the school district tomorrow. I need a vacation.

A new adventure

Josh had 2 teeth pulled today. This was his first trip to the dentist. He was a little traumatized. The xrays went great he opened his mouth and was very proud of getting pictures of his teeth. Then we waited and waited. We were called back the dentist examined him and said that we should probably "help" his teeth out of his mouth because he already has permanent teeth coming up behind them. We then waited some more of course. Then back into another room where they put a mask over his nose. HE began to giggle, for it was laughing gas. I though oh this won't be so bad. OK so I was wrong, really wrong!!! The dentist numbed his teeth with gel and began to shoot his gums with a needle. He began to freak out of course. It took 3 of us to hold him down. He was crying for me. IT was all I could do not to grab him and run out and say forget it. I know it was in his best interest to pull the teeth out but it just broke my heart that he cried so. Well we are home now with a window in our mouth and waiting for the tooth fairy to arrive tonight.
