Yep. Tuesday morning. 7AM. No food or drink after midnight. Miss Katie Mei gets to go under anesthesia...because.....she has 8!!! cavities!!EEEEEEEKKKKKKK!!!I had asked friend Don, our family dentist, to peek in Katie's mouth because I may have 'seen' something. Scott agreed...and while our daddy was in the hospital, Don came down to our house...took a peek ... and gave us the less-than-exciting-to-put-it-mildly news.
Out of 5 kids, this is the first to have a pediatric cavity. We've been very blessed in that area. The pediatric dentist (and Dr. Daddy) said it's entirely because of poor nutrition prenatally and in the orphanage. The area in Jiangxi where Katie is from is very, very poor and rural. Her birthmom must have been in dire straits. My poor Katie Mei. This isn't going to be fun at all!! Yall think about us on Tuesday will you??!!
**They wanted to do this in the hospital under general anesthesia at first...and to this mommy said.."please, we just got out of there...is there any other way??" To which we found out that Katie just made the weight limit to do this under i.v. sedation at the dentist's office. The cut-off?? 26 lbs. Katie weighs 27. WHEW! Thank the Lord for every blessing!! She will have a shot first....then an i.v. in her foot...and more yummy numbing stuff in her mouth. Pray for us!!**

This looks like the place I've been taking my kids to for years. Is it Dr. Bishop's practice? Actually, Erika was 3 when we first started going. I pray that everything goes well!
I will pray for Katie and the mommmy that all goes well! Wow, 8 cavities! Bless her heart! She is a doll! I have just fallen in love with all your princesses through this blog! Katie stole my heart with the "hoeman" as I too am a lover of snowmen!
We are praying for sweet Katie! May the Spirit comfort her and may grace abound!!
We love you- Gisele and Mini-Moscow<3
