So the countdown is on. Pea goes in for dental surgery on Oct 13th, to say that I am worried is an understatement, I have been sick to my stomach with worry about it for months. It is this deadline on the calender, a day of dread looming above us just waiting. I am comforting myself with the fact that it will be more traumatic for me than it will be for her, sure she may feel a bit uneasy in the hospital but she won't leave my arms until she is under the general and she will wake up with a brand new smile.
This has been the hardest decision of my life so far, we have been doing everything we can to slow the decay on her teeth and I am pleased to say it looks like it has stopped, but I have noticed times when she doesn't eat with her front teeth and once I asked if it hurt and she said it did so immediately my choice was made. I have now made peace with my decision and know it is the right thing to do.
I'd like to write more but we are off to our fall fair this afternoon and I have to get ready while the monkey naps.
<3 hugs!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Sheena, it's Devon! We've started up our blog, thought I'd let you know.
ReplyDeleteDental surgery sounds very difficult for mama and probably not fun for monkies either. Do you know the surgeon? Have you seen the room(s)? Know the proceedure? Sometimes learning about scary things helps me. Though I guess sometimes it makes it worse too.
Well that wasn't very helpful, haha! I'm sure everything will be just fine. Deep breath!
