Jeff made it through like a champ and has a beautiful grill to show for it.
The day started off pretty rough. At the hospital a woman tried to snatch Jeff. It was truly the scariest thing I've ever experienced in my life. He's home safe & sound... and I'm never letting him leave the house until he's 50.
I had reached into my purse to grab my insurance card and in that 30 sec. she had grabbed him. I tear up just thinking about it again.
So after that it was time for Jeff to be taken back to surgery. I was a complete emotional wreck by that time and I have no idea how I held it together. I got to undress Jeff and put his gown & socks on. They even let Mawigi go back with him for the surgery.
His teeth were not as bad as Dr. Jeff (or denta as Jeff calls him) thought they were. Jeff ended up getting 4 root canals and caps on the top front teeth and then some sealants in the back.
When he started to wake up in recovery he was crying when he saw the IV still in his hand and the nurse gave him a shot of morphine. A few minutes later he was still crying so she gave him another shot of morphine. Needless to say he was out of it until we got home.
Today he's back to climbing the walls.. none wiser to the fact some woman tried to take him or that he went through a 2 hour surgery. The only evidence that anything happened is the hospital bracelets that are still on the two of us (something they put on right after the baby snatching incident). Neither of us want to take them off. Jeff because he thinks it's cool and me because it's a bit of a safetly blanket. Not sure if that makes a lot of sense but that's how it's gonna have to be for the next few days.
you misspelled safety, and wow that woman woulda got a beat down. i would have totally used my football skills and tackled. she would have been needing a denta. this also wakes you up to the fact that it can happen to you, because it doesnt matter how many times people say it, you never think it will happen to you and sadly for most of us you wont believe it till it does. i am very amazed and praise the idea with the hospital that gave you and jeff those bracelets, and if you have to color it with markers and whatever you do it and make sure he doesnt want to take it off for some time to come.
