Root Canal

Today Katie had her root canal. For those of you who don't know, Katie had her two front teeth broken this summer when a flying sippy cup hit her sippy cup dead on, while it was in her mouth. Since breaking her teeth, she has had two very bad infections in her teeth and the endodontist has determined that in order to try and save what is left of her tooth that a root canal must be done (even though she is really young for one and her roots are not even fully developed.)

So, today is d-day and she had her appointment at 10:45 a.m. Because I know what a crappy day she is going to have, I let her sleep in (and we had a "sleepover" in the living room last night). I had to laugh when Hawkeye came over to her and was "protecting" her. He laid his head on her arm until I got the camera out 0 and then he stood watch. I was surprised that she didn't growl at him - because she isn't real nice in the a.m.

I finally got her up and she got ready to go... she was so excited to go (she had no idea....) I loved her outfit and her hair extentions.

Her root canal went well and it was reported to me that she was a very brave girl during the proceeding. She did still have so much infection that she was not able to have the whole procedure today. Now we have to go back in two weeks. That will be very different because this time Katie has told me that she doesn't want to go because the "Num" part REALLY hurts. Oh boy!!!
