Well....It Didn't Excactly Go As Planned...

More drama. This one put the mommy waaaayyyyyy over the edge! At the dentist today, Katie was given a twilight sedative, then an I.V. in her foot...then novacaine in her mouth before her procedure was to begin. Well...they began and then Katie couldn't breathe....at all. The meds caused her airway to close...and she was turning blue. I'm hoping you read between the lines here because they had to bring her out of those meds VERY quickly and stop all procedures. THEN to top it off, she had a reaction to the novacaine and her bottom lip has swelled BEYOND (!!!) what even Rocky Balboa would consider traumatic. Add in a few throw up sessions and there you have our day. We've had it rough. And....no cavities were filled. Tomorrow has to be better....and we can figure out what in the world to do next. My first phone call was to the wife of our family dentist (we were at the specialist today) with a giant 'HELP!!!!!' She is a great friend. This was way, way, way, too scary! I have lip pics...but can't bring myself to post them.:) Hope you understand! Thanks everyone for your encouragement in the emails and comments. They are appreciated!! Even when I can' get right back to you! After a nap this afternoon, Katie is doing much better. We're going to watch American Idol now. :)
