Brynn's Bad Day

Today was kind of a rough day for Brynn. A few weeks ago, we learned she had some serious dental issues and would need tons of work. Then she got infections/abcesses. So today she went in and had anesthesia and had three teeth extracted (and space maintainers put in) two crowns, and 3 or 4 other cavities filled. Her appointment wasn't until noon, and she couldn't have anything to eat or drink after midnight, so she was miserable all morning with hunger and fear.

(Picture taken on a visit a few weeks ago just for Xrays. She was nowhere near this calm and collected today)
Poor kid really had a rough time of it. She was pretty much miserable all afternoon. At first she was fighting me and trying to "go away" but there was nowhere to go, and she couldn't even hold her head up. Then she got into a crying and whining phase where all she could do was lay there and mumble "My teeth feel SO wierd" through her drooling. Then she wanted to be up and walking around but she was so dizzy she staggered around like a drunk and complained she couldn't walk. It took a good 5 hours before she was fairly normal. She's on a soft foods only diet until noon tomorrow, then she just needs to avoid anything "chewy or crunchy" for 2 more days.

Oh, poor thing! That is a lot of work for a little girl! I hope she's feeling better!
