Before and after

After looks dark coutesy of two grape popsicles after we got home. She's back to her daredevil ways, already.



And one from the berry farm Saturday. :) Yeehaw!

NEWS!

She has all of her teeth! Stainless crowns on two upper molars, but that's fine. It took longer because her little teeth required extra work (because they were little.)

Dentist did dance around the nursing issue, but meh whatever. Apple juice or soda easier on the tummy than breastmilk? Uh, ok.

Annnnnyway, they saved her teeth! Now just waiting on the nurse to ocme get us.

(This post took a ridiculous amount of time to type between excitement over the TEETH and cafffeine.)

No news is good news, right?

We're still waiting to hear back. It was supposed to take 1h15m, but it's been 1h30m now. I'm hoping that's because they're taking extra time to make her teeth absolutely perfect.

Also, I'm going to give myself whiplash from turning around anytime that surgery door is opened. ;P

Whenever they're done, the dentist is going to come talk to us about how it went. Then we get to go back to the room where we left her (or somewhere thereabouts) and wait for them to bring her to us. I wish we could be there when she wakes up, but I get the feeling they're damn efficient here and since they seem to be on top of their game, I'm willing to go along with it. (Seriously, if the nurse anesthetist hadn't been so reassuring, I probably wouldn't be down with this idea, but she really really was.)

Adia did well last night. Mom said she woke up to Adia yelling "Noooooo Grandma" at some point. She thought it was just a bad dream, but when she asked Adia about it this morning it was because Mom had rolled onto Horton. Whatever. Grandma can do no wrong, especially since she de-hid the great big balance ball to play with. They were watching PBS Kids when I called a little while ago, so I guess the big list of instructions I left worked. ;P

She's back

I thought I'd be updating from my cell, but it turns out that the entire world has internet now. Yay hospital.

We got here at 6 with a decently grumpy Checka. We did the paperwork and then got taken back by the nurse. The anesthesiologist and nurse anesthetist came back and talked to us, as did the OR nurse. The dentist did too, and she gave me more hope that they'll save the teeth, so good thoughts, prayers, whatever would be good on that end. The NA reassured me that they care for them like their own, and Francesca didn't even cry when I handed her over. That helped a lot. She's tired and wanting to nurse, but at least the tiredness will be taken care of soon. Ha!

They had a pair of socks with grippies (which I had gotten a pair of last night at Tar-jay already, so she's double-wrapped haha) and a new stuffed koala with a hospital tee-shirt on.

I think I'm going to send Charles to the coffee corner here in a minute for food/drink. I'll pretend that I can eat, and if nothing else I can caffeinate myself and spaz more. I do technically have a cheese danish I got from the lobby at the hotel, but it's in the car. Along with my bio textbook to read, but.. um.. I forgot a highlighter. Yeah, that's it. No point in doing homework if I don't have the highlighter and I'll have to read it again.
