This morning I had to take Emma to see Dr. Winder to have some cavities filled. I guess when her molars were forming, they didn't grow completely and left a small hole in the center, it was impossible to keep food completely out of there and decay was only a matter of time.
So, they gave her some versed syrup and about 15 minutes later she was totally out of it. She couldn't sit up by herself, couldn't hold her head up by herself, and if there is such a thing as slurred laughing, she had it too.
They took us back and got her settled with a TinkerBell fleece blanket and some Nitrous Oxide and we were off. She did really well, never made a peep, totally complied (of course the Versed helps with this). She recovered well but was still very confused and emotional. She did really well on the way home until we got here and while I was going to the bathroom and getting her drink and snack, she was chewing on her bottom lip. By the time I noticed what she was doing, she had blood smeared all over face and just kept picking at it saying, "I'm getting this white stuff off my face." I had to try and convince her there was no "white stuff" and eventually the sedative wore off some more so she was more rational. But, now she has hamburger meat for a bottom lip, poor baby. I'm trying to get her to keep some ice on it. She took a really nice long nap and is eating a snack now. I have pictures I'll upload later.
