Oral Surgery

Today Aubryn had to go to Dr. Alfonso an oral surgeon to have 6 baby teeth pulled. Her mouth is so small there isn't enough room for the permanent teeth that are coming from the baby teeth she has already lost. This is only a temporary solution as the teeth that were pulled start coming in there will be crowding again. So this is going to be a long process and eventually she will have to wear braces.

Aubryn was put to sleep for this procedure. Her daddy and I were so proud of her. She did so good. She was a little nervous when they were putting the iv in but other than that she did great. They gave her gas and she was acting kind of silly before she went to sleep.

When we got home we were preparing for the worse (lots of bleeding, vomiting, etc...). She didn't have any problems. She was really hungry because she could only have liquids. We gave her the hydrocodone as directed, the pharmacist said it would knock her out but it didn't. She didn't sleep at all. I know it would have had an affect on me, I don't know why it didn't do anything to her. If anything it hyped her up more. She is ready to go back to school tomorrow. Which isn't near as much fun as watching movies and eating ice cream and chocolate pudding all day.
