Here’s an update on Noah’s condition: He’s not in much pain at the moment, so praise the Lord! He and I drove up to MUSC in Charleston yesterday and saw the doctor (it ended up being 2 doctors, a nurse and me working on him at the same time, but he was a very good sport).
Noah has had a cavity for the last 2 years that we have known about, but (at the recommendation of his dentist in Pittsburgh) we have just watched for signs of its progressing. Basically, since Noah is on a sugar free diet, the dentist said the cavity had a good chance of holding ground and not having to have anything done to it. Since any dental work involves the O.R. and completely knocking him out, the dentist wanted to avoid that if possible.
But, the tooth is now infected and has to be pulled. It has abscessed on both sides of the gum and was causing Noah serious pain for several days until the pressure reduced.
We are scheduled to take Noah back up to Charleston on Thursday morning for an extraction. We are still in the process of figuring out who’s going and where the kids will be. Please keep us in prayers, especially for Noah’s continued coping with the pain. Thanks!

Sounds like Charleston is the place to be on Thursday for kids. Spencer is having her hernia operated on this Thursday. We'll be praying for both little ones.
