Since our trip to the ER last Sat night, Savannah has been racking up the doctor's appointments! She saw the dentist on Tuesday afternoon and we got great news. Of the three teeth that she knocked loose only one was actually fractured. Our dentist recommended that we wait a month and see what happens to the fractured tooth. It may heal on it's own or it may turn dark and have to come out. So it's a waiting game.
Here is Savannah after the stitches came out. I purposely scheduled her appointment in the afternoon on Thursday so that Mike could take her. I was not up for another round of screaming and restraining. And of course, the lip wasn't totally healed so I had to bring her back this afternoon. Man was it a spectacle. It was the ER all over again minus the blood and the papoose. She howled and kicked and screamed! It required me holding down her hands and laying across her legs, a nurse holding her head, and then the Dr. to actually cut the stitches out. Three adults to subdue one 3 year old! And then five minutes later she had a lollipop in her mouth and was singing as we waited for the elevator.
All in all, she looks much better. It's amazing how the body heals! Our Dr. said that she will have a scab for a while and then we just have to be careful because sun exposure will cause the area to discolor. Sunscreen is the name of the game for her for a while :)
And just for fun, here is Kate in her new shirt that we just bought! She is excited because she has decided that she's going to wear it to the beach! I wish I was as excited as her about getting into summer wear! Yikes!
