WISDOM TEETH

Between my birthday and Christmas, Ryan got to have his wisdom teeth removed. He had 2 impacted, 1 partially impacted and one completely out. We opted to have him put to sleep for his procedure. It was humorous to watch him be put under. At first he was talking non-stop...then he started speaking slower and slower until finally...he was asleep...it was like he was talking in slow motion.

When he woke up, he was quite angry. He thought we should let him sleep longer. He wanted the IV out immediately, but they said no. He really wanted to walk out of the office, but he was told he had to go out in a wheel chair. He kept insisting that there was nothing wrong with his legs. Talk about ornery!!! They finally let us leave by putting him in the wheelchair...he was NOT happy! He tried to insist on wheeling himself. (He lost that battle) He was relatively quiet on the ride home, but kept insisting he could do everything. We had a battle of wills when he insisted he could get out of the car when we got home...I made him stay until I could come around the van and help him out.

Unlike his sister, he was relatively MEAN. No one liked being around him! Here is the video Jessica took when he first got home...

After a while, we all decided he could have the family room to himself. He didn't like being alone though. As the night wore on, he got more ornery. So we called in the 'big guns"...Grandpa Bill. We had him and Wayne give him a blessing and then we conned Grandpa into staying and babysitting while we went shopping. I guess Grandpa had no problem with him.

We all decided that he would make a MEAN drunk ;) Good thing we love him!

P.S. I hope the video works!
