Not just a simple Tooth Ache … Happy Anniversary

Tooth AcheThank you so much for all the prayers and wishes about Rick.  His surgery went well yesterday they ended up removing 4 teeth while they were in there.  His simple tooth ache has turned into a nightmare Sad smile.  He ended up a oral surgery that has him now on a ventilator to help him breath.  His throat is so swollen that if they took him off it he would be able to breath comfortable.  He’s been put in a medical coma to help with the pain along with a drain in his neck to help.  I went to visit him last night in the ICU and they have wonderful nurses that only have 2 patients each that they take care of.  He will be in the ICU for another day or two and then in a regular room until probably Friday.

They are going to take him out of the coma state this afternoon so I will take the boys in to see him.  They woke him up the am and they wrote that he wanted to see his boys Smile.  I’ll keep you posted on what happens.  Thank you again for all your support and kind words I so appreciate it.

Rick sleeping peacefully.

Rick in ER

Many blessings to you all!  And today is our 8th Anniversary, happy Anniversary sweetie, love you!

  11. That is way to scary. I am so sorry. I feel for you with the insurance crap. Our government only takes care of the wrong people, not their own! I don't think I have heard of so much trouble over teeth. ((HUGS)) If there is anything I can do please let me know.
