UPDATE ON ISAAC'S CONDITION

I took Isaac to a pediatric dentist yesterday. It was pretty tramatic for Isaac. He screamed the whole time and it took two of us to hold him down, but it was critical that we go. The news wasn't good. I had expected it to be bad, but it was worse than I thought. He has 10 teeth that need work. Seven of his teeth need to be capped, two teeth need fillings, and one needs to be pulled. Because of his age they will need to do the procedure in a hospital so that they can put him to sleep and do everything at once. We know this needs to be done and we will find a way, but it is going to be very expensive. If we don't have it done, the dentist said that his teeth will rot into his head and cause serious problems for his permanent teeth later. We have dental insurance, but it won't even cover half of the dentist's charge. We will also have a bill from the hospital, the anesthesiologist and a pediatrician. We aren't sure yet if our medical insurance is going to agree to pay anything. We are waiting on approval from them.
