Blessings!

I tried to get a picture when he was actually in the room but they wont let anyone come back since its a "surgical procedure"
A couple weeks ago I took Collin to the dentist due to a tooth thats been bothering him lately and found out he has a 5th wisdom tooth! It was still way up in the bone part pushing into the tooth next to it. Not only did he have a 5th wisdom tooth but it was abcess(dead) which I didnt know was possible considering it hadnt seen the light of day. When we found out about it all we saw were dollar signs. Since Collin is not active duty yet in the National Guard, he does not have dental coverage, so we would have to pay for it all out of our pockets. Not only that but since he was going to be put under the total bill would be around $900! Very disheartening because we are trying so hard to save for our future townhouse. So we went to the oral surgeon last tuesday and decided to finance it. Before they took Collin back, the doctor looked at the xrays and said that he usually takes these out if he sees them coming(the tooth was already showing on the xrays when he got his other wisdom teeth pulled 4 years ago) but didnt pull the fifth one for soem reason. So, the receptionists came back, explained that since the doctor usually pulls these with the rest of them that there would be no charge at all! We were so excited that we didnt have to pay a dime for the procedure or the anesthetic. We realized that this was such a blessing for us from the Lord. I think for family home evening this week, we are going to count our blessings! Oh by the way, Collin recovered very well with hardly any swelling.
