Is the week over yet?

The last few days have been exciting; on Tuesday, Vanessa woke up in a really bad mood and made the morning really difficult. How difficult? Well, I had to call Scott because the whole ordeal resulted in me having an anxiety attack (crying, shaking, etc.), so he came home to take her to school because she refused to get going.

Then, while we're waiting for Vanessa to finish getting ready, Ryan (who had already left for the bus stop with Ethan), came running inside the house, announcing, "I chipped my tooth!" Except, it wasn't a little chip; the bottom half of his front right tooth was now in his hand!

Apparently, Ryan and his friends were playing football (I think!) at the bus stop and he collided into his friend. The result was Ryan's chipped tooth and a scratch on his friend's head. Ryan insisted that he didn't feel any pain and wanted to go to school, so we let him. By recess, however, I had to go and pick him up because the tooth started to ache.

I took him to the dentist yesterday, but he sent us to a root canal specialist instead; something about our dentist didn't have the right stuff to fix the tooth. Or something. Anyway, we went to see Dr. Groneman and he fixed Ryan right up. He worried that he would have to do a root canal because the tooth nerve had been exposed, but it happened where a cleaning, some sort of sealant and reconstructing the tooth was all that was needed.

It has to be said that Ryan did really well through all of the work; even Dr. Groneman commented on what a good patient he was.

So now, here it is, Thursday morning. If there's going to be any more excitement, can it hold off until next week? Please?
