Kennady's teeth!!

Well we had an eventful weekend. It really began 4 weeks ago when we went to the orthodontist because Kennady's teeth were coming in crooked and the rest of her teeth were not coming in at all. This was a picture of the x-ray....


So, too many teeth in such a small mouth. The orthodontist decided the best thing to do is to removed some baby teeth to make room for the big teeth and then we will have to remove 4 big teeth to have enough room for the rest of the teeth. So in the end she will have 4 less teeth then the rest of us!!

So to begin the process we had to go up to Grandpa Daniel's office. He is a dentist!!! Which is really lucky because I am not sure Kennady would have let anyone else take out her teeth. Also my sister Erica was his assistant so it made Kennady really comfortable.




Grandpa did great on the shots. Kennady said she did not even feel them. She even got to watch a movie. She has on the little ear phones to listen and the movie was up above her head.
She became and very numb!!!



Here is the last picture taken of her with her cute baby teeth. It has been really hard for me to think that she will never have her baby teeth again. My baby is growing up.




Then the work began. Grandpa took 6 teeth out the first day and 4 teeth out the second day. So 10 teeth were removed.



It is crazy. They came out well and she really didn't even lose her control or anything. She was really brave and I am so proud of her.




She has been a little sore and it is a little hard to eat but overall she is doing well. We are very anxious for her teeth to grow back but for now she just says she looks like a witch. I think she is beautiful and will soon have her nice teeth back (even better!!)








Thanks Grandpa and Erica for taking such great care of Kennady. You both made a crazy and a little scary situation much better!!
