Sending thoughts of healing your way. My husband went through some pretty fierce dental stuff, and it's really hard to accept that, unless you're an MD yourself, you really aren't sure what to do. Except just to be there with 'em while they're going through it so at least they know they're not suffering alone. If that's all you can do, then that's what you do. I sympathize.
