Jade's Dental Surgery

Jade got my bad teeth genes. I took her for her first dental checkup a few weeks ago. They confirmed what I was dreading. She had two cavities on her lower molars. Because she's so young and wouldn't be able to hold still long enough to have the cavities filled they wanted to put her under.

Here's a picture of her in the waiting room. She wasn't allowed any food that morning and I felt so bad for her because the whole way to the surgery center she kept saying "eat, eat". Once we got there and she saw the room full of new toys she seemed to forget how hungry she was.

Here she is, in her cool hospital jammies. She didn't seem nervous or anything, although, I'm not sure how much she really understood what was going to happen. Dan was able to be there with her while she fell asleep. We waited in the waiting room for about an hour and a half and she was done. When we came into her recovery room she was just staring at the wall. She didn't seem overly happy to see us but I think she was still kind of out of it. She kind of freaked out when she saw the IV in her hand. I held her while she ate three pink otter pops and watched Sesame Street.
