H is supposed to have some major, massive dental work tomorrow (my poor kid? born WITHOUT TOOTH ENAMEL. Yeah.). This involved going to Children's Hospital to have him put under general because otherwise he would be so traumatised by the experience of having 8 crowns (yes) plus fillings in EVERY other tooth.

No joke.

It has taken us almost 6 months to get this all organized - between the dentist's schedule and Blue Cross sucking. His teeth have gotten so bad in the meantime. But, finally, we're going to get it taken care of, right?

Except last night H started feeling sick. Running a fever of 102. Croup-y cough. And throwing up all night long.

So now I have to call the dentist and see what's what. I imagine it will be put off, since Children's won't want to put a kid under who is coughing and/or has a fever.

DAMMIT. Who the hell knows how long it will take to get this worked out again. Meanwhile, Cavities McGee over there just looks pitiful. I'm so sorry, my sweet baby.

Holy crap. I thought my teeth were bad. Poor kid. Hope everything works out soon.

Oh, man, poor baby! I hope he feels better soon. This sounds like it will be a long road. Do they think that his adult teeth will have enamel or is this a lifelong ailment?

No way of knowing. This isn't so rare that our densits has nenver seen it before. But we'll have to wait and see when the adult teeth come in.

My niece has the same problem! But she's not in any pain so they're just waiting for her baby teeth to fall out and hoping that her grown-up teeth are okay. I'm guessing your little man's situation is more serious. I hope he recovers quickly! Poor thing.
