Tooth Fairy On Call

The dentist pulled out Paul's tooth this morning. He commented that the tooth was already loose, and when he pulled it some gunk came with it suggesting infection. A culture will reveal what we are dealing with germ-wise. Anyway, it was only the one tooth, and it is now in a little box. Paul looked at his new smile in the mirror. There is still some swelling and pain, and I would expect there to be some fever as the healing gets going. When Paul's WBCs increase, that should really speed things up. Please pray that Paul's tooth area will heal quickly and that his blood counts will go up soon.
