After consultation with orthodontist and Kyra's dentist Mr. Steve, it was decided that she needed to have 6 teeth removed in order for her adult teeth to have space to come in. Because of Kyra having such a small mouth (like me), no time needed to be lost in order for her to lose them, get new ones and start her ortho treatment. This picture will always associate for me with our visit to the dr where they explain on what would be done to her during teeth extraction procedure.
It was definitely not the best day of Kyra's life although saying that kids bounce back much faster than adults came very true. We got her in and out pretty fast but it WAS very hard. She took Charles with her, who sat on her lap while she sat on her Dad's lap at dr's office. Dr and his staff tried to put her to ease but oh boy was she fighting it! She did not want to go under this mask that would put her to sleep.
When she woke up, her Dad and I was there. Her mouth was bleeding, she had cotton in her mouth and she was drowsy from anesthesia.
Brandon was at school, so Kyra had my sole attention on the way home and at home. She threw up in the car just as we were getting close. Nothing new, she gets like that after Dr's visits.
At home she was very whiny (expected) and was refusing to put cotton in her mouth so that her bleeding stopped. We went through that with watching a movie and snuggling under the blanket.
Close to the evening she was ready to eat. Insane! Try taking 6 teeth from adults and see how long it would take for them to bounce back!
Here Kyra being busy with the painting she got as a present for after her surgery. This butterfly kept her busy for a while.
