Well, after 2.5 hours at the dentist with Kerry May, we still have not been able to repair her decayed teeth. She is one amazing little girl -- her stamina is shocking. Both the dentist and the hygienist were very surprised at her sheer strength and will power. She was given a sedative at home an hour before, more sedative when we arrived at the office, and then gas to inhale to relax her. All of these things combined to merely make her silly, "drunk," and just as feisty as ever. She has a temporary repair on her teeth, and our next stop will probably be the operating room. (How we are going to afford that, I have no idea). I am going to talk to the pediatrician about her strange eating behavior -- food holding -- and have her ability to swallow evaluated. She may have enlarged tonsils or who knows what.
At this very moment, "Super Kerry" is as crabby as ever, driving her sister insane, and refusing to take a nap, even though I know she must feel awful and be exhausted -- I know do and am.
Meanwhile, they called from Children's and wanted to schedule Jenica's surgery on May 8th -- her birthday. Needless to say, I said "no." So, it has been scheduled for JUNE 19th. Oh boy. Need to start prepping myself for that now.
After today, I am really glad that there are only two of them.
I need to just go and lie down.
