Nat's mouth surgery-Post #2

Ok. Everything went well.  I got her up literally 10 minutes before we had to leave the house.  She never asked what was going on, which I was thankful for because she would have started to freak out!  We got to the ped dentist's office and they got her in a room about 15 min later.  The ped dentist that we use is great! (ok. I will name drop-Dr. Jeff Rhodes)  His office and his staff are awesome!  I am talking about video games for the kiddos to play while they wait, flat screen TV's on the ceiling above the exam chairs----the total works!!  Natalyn did get a little scared when it was time for her to get in the exam chair, but they immediately gave her some "princess air" and she calmed down.  After that she got a "bee sting" and started to glaze over, she was on her way to "sleepy town!" 
Her new teeth look really good.   I am glad the dead tooth is gone, it was really hurting her.  She is trying to get used to the bridge this afternoon.  She has eaten 3 pudding cups, cut up grapes and attempted to eat scrambled eggs, but they got under her bridge.  I told her we would try them again another day.
NOW THE IMPORTANT NEWS!!!!
She is very excited about getting some CASH from the TOOTH FAIRY tonight!  She has a special pillow with a pocket on it for her teeth. ( I showed Nat her front teeth, she was not impressed, she thought they were gross, which I guess they are! Especially the one that is dead-it is brown/grey with a chip in it.)  With her future income (i.e. $$ from tonight) she plans to go shopping tomorrow, which is a good sign that she is on her way to a full recovery!!!

Here is a pic of her new top front teeth!!!
