About three weeks ago Ellie tripped while walking into her speech appointment and hit the door. It chipped her tooth at that time. Well about one week ago I noticed that her gum's were bleeding. I looked at the tooth and noticed that it had cracked. I took her into the dentist and he thought it would be a good idea to take it out. Turns out he was right. The tooth was split all the way up. Poor little lady has been having nerve pain since it happened. All I can say is she is a trooper. I don't know very many people that can handle nerve pain like she did.

So Ellie had her front tooth taken out today. She had to have it done at the Hospital because they had to watch her airway. So here we go on surgery #9. I overheard a 93 year old man say this was his first surgery. He is 93, Ellie is four. There is something wrong with this picture.

Ellie liked that they gave her a blanket to take home and a box of fun things. Sometimes it is nice to not take her to PCMC. The other hospitals are so cute with your kids because they never get kids. She was spoiled with attention and everyone kept telling us how cute she is.

Here is the before shot. Notice that the tooth is gray.

The Dentist came out and gave us the down low. He says she has been in a lot of pain. I feel so bad for the little lady. If anyone needs a good peds dentist he is wonderful.
Before we ever saw Ellie we got to see her tooth. This is what it looks like normally

This is what it looks like with the crack! YIkes!

After surgery in the recovery room. She had a hard time coming out because she was coughing so much. She is still having a hard time with her cough but it is getting better.

Poor baby needs to get a break now. No more surgeries for a really really long time. Knock on wood.
