Sophie's Surgery

 When I took Sophie to the dentist a few weeks ago he told me she had lots of damage to her teeth.  18 of her 19 teeth needed work (one still hasn't come in yet).  So we scheduled her appointment at the hospital since she would need to be put under for 2 hours.  Her appointment was scheduled for 9:30 am.  She couldn't eat from midnight on and couldn't drink anything after 6:30 am.  So she had nothing to eat since bedtime the night before around 8:00 pm.  They were running behind end she didn't end up going in until noon.  She kept asking the nurse if she could have a snack.  The poor little thing was so hungry.  

They came in and gave her something to help her before they took her into surgery so she wouldn't be afraid.  She was hilarious.  She is already such a silly little thing that with some funny drugs she was crazy.  She was totally cracking us up.  Her surgery went great.  It took just over 2 hours and the dentist said everything went perfect.  She has 4 porcelain crowns on her front teeth and on one of her molars she had a baby root canal done and now has a little silver tooth.






Heidi came to hang out with me for a bit while Todd was at Claire's dad's & donuts.  She brought a cute bag of toys for Sophie.  With some awesome Cinderella gloves.  I love that she wore them in her "carriage" on the way out to the car.  





It took her a long time before we could take her home.  She couldn't keep her oxygen levels up and didn't want the mask on.  She finally got something to eat - string cheese and yogurt.  She kept asking the nurse for cookies.  It was hilarious.  I'm so glad all went well and that she is doing so well.
