Last Friday, April 16th, Muluken went into the hospital for dental surgery. He had work done on 12 teeth. He ended up getting 1 silver cap, 2 caps on his front teeth, and 9 fillings. OUCH!! He handled it like a trooper.
Brad and I both took him in to St. E's. Muluken was put into a room and within minutes, we had at least 4 other people in the room. Muluken was smiling until I tried to put his hospital gown on. He took a step backwards and said "no way" with a nervous laugh. Brad and I needed to work together to get the gown on and his clothes off. Brad switched the cartoons on the tv, which helped distract Muluken with all of the nurses and doctors in the room.
Brad and I walked along with Muluken as he was wheeled down to surgery. He was still smiling but that changed quickly when the nurse told us to say goodbye. Muluken was REALLY MAD! The nurse tried to put the blue beanie cap on his head and Muluken jerked his head away and said "NO". No more smiles from my Muluken.
Muluken was gone for over 2 hours. What a LONG WAIT!! He came back pretty tired but OK. He drank some water and started to watch some cartoons in which he finally started to wake up. The smile returned to his cute face. :)
Of course, being the scrapper that I am, I had to take some pictures of Muluken's first hospital visit.
Happy little guy for just having dental surgery!
