Surgery

Abby had oral surgery today. She did very well! She has a tooth that is impacted in the roof of her mouth. The doctor had to go in through her gumline and attach a little hook with a chain to the tooth that is impacted. I can't even visualize how this is even done. Anyway, now the orthodontist will be able to use the chain to pull the tooth down into its proper place. There is a slight chance she could still lose the tooth so we are really hopeful that this won't be the case. For now, it is lots of rest for her this weekend AND maybe even a little ice cream!

Oh.....What Fun!

Yesterday, my friend Kim and I took the kids to Imagination Station to have some hands on fun. I had my girls and she had her two kids. We also took our friend Tracey's kids and my friend Stephanie's boy. In all we had 8 kids in tow plus Mattie. They had a really nice time. The best thing was that they could touch everything! Here are a few pictures from the day.

Today Abby went to the dentist to have 3 baby teeth pulled. She was such a champ! It was a 2 hour process, because her dentist let her decide when she needed a break. I thought maybe I'd end up spending the night, but they finally got them out. Her next step is to have an expander placed in the roof of her mouth. We'll crank it with a key each night until the roof of her mouth widens. This will help her to breathe better and give her more room for those new teeth to come down. After that, then the braces will go on.

Ouch!
