Dayton's Braces Come off, the cast is next!

Before we left to get them off. My first glimpse of his teeth with no braces on them, he was sitting in the dentist's chair. We waited 2 hours in the lobby for him, it was definately worth the wait! We love Dr. Strosser! He is the nicest guy! They gave Dayton a goodie bag with a Block*Buster gift card, popcorn, gum, toothbrush and tied with balloons. It was a nice touch! (Like the red cast! His 2 fingers are not able to bend so we have had a few hurdles with that!)We stopped by to show Dad his new smile!

Dayton's team took 2nd in a tournament this weekend as well, he couldn't play but kept score!

Dayton's braces came off this morning, he teeth look so nice! We had the best orthodontist, he was so good to Dayton and even got them off a month earlier than we had planned. Unfortunately, last weekend at a baseball tournament Dayton was playing catcher and a ball bounced up and hit his hand and broke it in 2 places. He is in a cast for about 3 weeks. So hopefully before high school starts his braces and his cast will be off! His baseball team won the league championship this year, the first year our school has ever done that so he received a nice trophy. Baseball season is officially over and I am so glad, it has been a long (and cold) season, he has had a few injuries and now with his broken hand, he needs a break.

Thanks for the well wishes about my sister in law Lora, unfortunately the when she went to the hospital for the first time (in the ambulance) they only gave her a neck xray. She woke up the next day at home and could not walk, after she went to her own doctor she learned that she has 3 broken vertebrae and is in severe pain. She is bed ridden for about 6 weeks. We are praying that she will heal properly and that she gets some relief from the pain soon.
