Tara, yep, the waiting is always hard. I've known several people in the last couple years to end up with osteomyelitis in their jaws from tooth infections. It's really scary to me; I kind of wonder whether this infection is increasing in the population, like MRSA (methicillin-resistant staph aureus, or the "super bug") seems to be doing. I'm glad your brother is okay; from how my son described it, the jaw infection is really painful.
