From The Past: December 15, 2004
Back on November 3rd, I talked about how excited I was that Andrew was getting his braces removed from his teeth. His orthodontist assured me that they would be off before Christmas.
Well, I ASSUMED he meant THIS Christmas and not next! Andrew went for his final appointment of the year this morning and they added another power chain! Nothing has come off and his next appointment isn’t until January 17th! I’m upset and Andrew was upset when we left also. I could tell that he was holding back crying. He really had his hopes up that by Christmas they would be gone. I believed the same thing. I had fully intended to fill his stocking with gum and beef jerky; now that will have to wait. I feel bad for him, but I pray that the benefits outweigh the stress and pain that he has gone through when this is all over with.
