Home and Well
We are home well! :-) Cali is slowly getting back to herself but is still pretty sleepy, swollen and grumpy.
We woke up this morning at 5 am to have her at the doctors office by 7:30. We were all checked in and ready to go by 7:45. By 8:15 we were in our "room" waiting for the doctor to send the "giggle juice" to calm Cali down before they took her. We waited, and we waited, and we waited some more. We colored, we read books, we watched Scooby-Doo on the TV, we blew bubbles, and we did everything else we could think of to entertain Cali. Finally at 9:45 they brought her "giggle juice" and then we waited some more while the meds started to work. By the time she was pretty loopy and droopy they nurses came and took Cali it was 10:05. They came to let us know she was out of surgery and coming off the meds at about 11:15 and by 11:30 we had her back in our arms. Although, she came off from the meds mad at the world and ready to take it on. She was screaming, kicking, and making quite the sceene. It took her a minute to realize I had her but when she did she quickly settled down in my arms and went back to sleep. We got her to drink some liquids and once the nurses were satisfied that she could keep it down they took out her IV, we got her dressed (much to her dismay) and we headed home. We finally got home a little after 12.
She ended up having 3 fillings, 4 silver caps on her molars and 4 white caps on her four front teeth. She is on antibiotics for the next 10 days and because she is so little she is just taking for tylenol/motrin for pain. She still won't eat anything but soft foods, but that is to be expected. The swelling has gone down a lot, but is still kind of there. She has a nemo bandaid where the IV was on her hand and couldn't wait to get her hospital band cut off. She is being a clingy Mommy's girl, but what is new? I can tell the meds are still coming out of her system because every once in a while she will kind of stumble or fall for no reason. I am keeping a close eye on her. Her teeth look great though and I am glad we were able to get it taken care of!
Thanks everyone for all of your prayers! We truly have felt them all day long!
