Today Travis had four teeth extracted, including a wisdom tooth. Intense tooth pain led to a dentist appointment yesterday morning, and the dentist recommended he have 3 teeth removed immediately. Turns out there was an infection, and today the oral surgeon decided to remove 4 teeth instead. (Travis called this yesterday. He told me "It's going to be four." Travis are you psychic? Can you tell me when I'm getting married?! Oh wait.) Now Travis is on four medications, and had to recover by staying home and watching the Rangers day game :) Another plus: an excuse to go to Jamba juice!
Anyway, prayers would be appreciated for Travis' recovery (an infection like this can be dangerous). The oral surgeon told Travis that they would need to wait at least 3 months before attempting to replace the teeth with implants, but we're hoping that it will be a possibility soon.
Right now Travis is in a lot of pain, but we're going to try distracting him by going to the midnight showing of District 9 tonight.
It was a hard decision. Cons: Staying up very late before work tomorrow, Travis just had oral surgery, it might be scary. Pros: This movie is supposed to be really good; midnight showings are fun because everyone is so stoked.
Ultimately fun won out.
And Travis just ate a piece of pizza! Yay Travis!

After having 4 teeth pulled you are going to a movie at midnight? Sounds like either Travis doesn't mind pain too much or he was given some really effective medications. I hope one was a strong antibiotic for that infection.
I think he was looking for a distraction from the pain more than anything. It's pretty bad, even though they gave him very strong pain medication, and an antibiotic. I'm praying that he'll be able to sleep for a long time and wake up feeling much better.
