Wisdom teeth
I got a letter from my SR Kyle yesterday and he said that he had his wisdom teeth out on the 17th. I felt so bad for him because he said it hurt a lot. He also wasn't able to make his phone call home because it was the same day :( He's had a rough week. Hoping his Chief let's him make a call. Will have to wait and see. Hopefully things are better this week. Sending positive thoughts to all of the SR's!!

Poor kid. I hope he is doing better. Matt mentioned in his voice mail to me that he had some cavities filled. I still feel awful that I missed his phone call.

I'm so sorry you missed his call. Hopefully Matt will get another one and you won't miss it. I'm hoping that Kyle will get to make one this week. I was doing ok until I heard about the teeth. It's hard not being there for them for something medical. Makes you feel so helpless. I know that they are young men, but they will always be our little boys.

My son told me in his second letter that he, too, had had his wisdom teeth out. He said his jaw was swollen shut (!) and that he had to exist on jello and powerade. However, I was blessed to be able to get a call from him 3 days after he had written the letter, and by then he was able to talk and sounded in good spirits. But, when I first received the news I felt badly for those that had to go through it. I am praying for them all!

My son SR Perry is/has gotten all four of his pulled. I tried to tell him before he left to get it done while he was home. They automatically like to go in and pull them if they haven't been pulled. It doesn't matter if they are not bothering them or not. If all goes well they won't fall behind and they will still be on track with the others even though they are on light and limited for a few days.
