Here is Savannah's tooth before we went to see Dr. Negron again:
And here is her tooth after:
That's right! Exactly the same!!! She sat and was very good for the x-ray which showed that the tooth separated at the fracture point and was slowly falling lower and lower in the gum, which you can see in the picture. Dr. Negron wanted to extract the tooth since it is obviously not healing. She sat and was cooperative for the nitrous gas and even allowed the numbing shot in her gum. But when it came time to pull the tooth - Savannah clamped her jaw shut and refused to open up! So we sat, and we talked, and we waited, and I threatened but at the end of the day she won! She still has a tooth! And now I get to take her to a dentist that will actually sedate her and have him remove it. That's right folks - ANOTHER APPOINTMENT!!!!
That being said, let's see how my 29 days and 9 appointments actually ended up. Owen had 1 injection appt, one 6 month check up, 4 additional dr appts due to his ear infection and cold, one appt for pics, and surgery on Monday. Savannah had one ER visit, two dental visits, and 2 visits to the dr to have stitches removed. And Kate had one blood work appt, one dr appt, and one orthodontist consultation. Grand Total = 16 appointments in 29 days!!!
I guess the silver lining is that it's almost over, we managed to all survive, and I only have 5 known appts in March!!!
