Yes, No, Yes, No...

Teeth that need fixin'

I'm struggling right now.  I'm in a place as a parent for which I was not properly prepared.  (Well, really, I was not prepared for any of it, but that's beside the point).

Kerry's teeth are deteriorating and need to be fixed.  We FINALLY had a new date for her to undergo dental surgery -- Feb 12th.  Whooosh -- it was going to be FAST.  Get them all done in one day.  Yes!
HOWEVER.
Yesterday, at her physical that she is required to have prior to surgery (which she's already done one other time), we saw a new, very nice (very young) pediatrician who happened to ask me, "So, does anyone in your family have any blood/bleeding disorders?"  Well, yes, now that I think of it: Kerry's sister!  Ahhh, yes, the von Willebrand's disease rears it's ugly head!

So!  Too bad we didn't think to talk about this BEFORE because NOW Kerry needs to undergo all the testing for von Willebrand's before they will fix her teeth. 
Oh my.

This means -- no dental surgery on the 12th.  This means Kerry's teeth will be fixed ????? 

Oh my.
Oh my.

  1. Oh my, is right. Sorry to hear about the additional delay. However, this is obviously something you need to have answered. Hoping for the best for Kerry!
