Molar Pain

Last Monday I noticed a sharp little point in the back of Kai's mouth and spent the next several days trying to decide if he was cutting a cuspid or a molar. By Wednesday his mouth was really looking irritated and he was not sleeping well (and I finally decided it had to be a molar). After two not so great nights in a row, we finally decided that a dose of Ibuprofen was necessary before bed. We seem to have found the trick for the nighttime, but his molar has still seemed especially troublesome. As I've kept a close eye on it, I think I almost feel the pain more than he does. And I was not prepared to see bloody drool running down his face today during sacrament. I think I wanted to cry more than him. He's a trooper, though. You'd never know that the back of his mouth is bloody and irritated. We've definitely got a gem of a boy!
