Wisdom Teeth = One Loopy Girl

Natalie had her wisdom teeth out on the 8th. She had all four of them extracted and one of them was a mess. It was really up there and turned and coming in on top of her other teeth. She'd been in pain for a while so we figured it was time!

The thing about Nat is she is deathly afraid of doctors or dentists. She was traumatized as a little girl and she has never gotten over it. She was pricked in the finger for blood when she was around 2 and she just freaked out and it's stayed with her! She also had to go in for a surgery when she was around 4 and she wasn't completely knocked out when they took her away from me. She still has never forgiven me for that. But nonetheless, it's hysterical how she gets. When she goes to the dentist they have to pry her mouth open. She's got a teeny tiny mouth so that doesn't help, but she's so scared she tenses it up even more.

So she's afraid wishing she would have had a blessing. She's sitting in the chair just crying and tense and scared. So Sami holds her hand while they do and IV... she hates that even more than the hands in her mouth. She usually bruises like crazy when they are in her hand; actually he did an amazing job and she had no bruising... on her hand anyway her face was a different story.

Finally, we have to leave because she's starting to drift.

We get to sit with her when she's all done an hour later. She kept throwing her head against the chair and throwing her arms up and asking if she was done. She was the funniest thing! It was hard not to laugh. So finally I asked if she wanted to go home and see Izzy she just lost it and started bawling and saying," Yes Yes." She loves that dog!

So she says, "Where is my phone... I need my phone?" she kept trying to take it and we get in the car and she starts trying to text.... I take the phone and she's texting nonsense... Yum twirdery song.

To this day we can't figure out what she was trying to say.... so I have to hide the phone and she keeps trying to get off the couch and take the phone from the kids.... I have to go get her meds so I put Zach in charge of making her stay on the couch. Natalie hears that Sami is going with me and starts crying "I want Sami to stay I want Sami!" It was so cute!!!!

She couldn't hold spoons or sit up or make her lips suck in the jello so she would have me hold the spoon to her lips and then she'd swish it in with her finger... it was hysterical. Sad but funny!

We had a good couple of days with her being out of it... she's a funny thing when she's not assisted medically! She finally started feeling better, but then got dry socket in one of them. So it was a week or so of not feeling well for her!

Luckily for me Kathleen and Phil came out that weekend. Too bad for Natalie she didn't get to spend much time off the couch. The rest of us had fun with them here. They are always so generous and gracious to us! We had some fun dinners and talks and Kathleen even played Hotels with us. She won of course!!! Thanks for coming you guys... it's too far between visits these days!
