Today all the kids had dentist appointments. Madison was pretty brave this time. She stated her conditions as we were walking back to the chair. No boy doctor (her dentist is a "boy"), she wanted orange toothpaste, sun glasses before they turned the light on in her eyes, and she did not want them to tip the chair too far back. Once the dental hygienist agreed to her terms, then she would climb into the chair. She did great. I was concerned about her first permanent tooth taking it's time coming in, it’s been 5 months and it’s only about half way in. We were warned when she underwent her 30 radiation treatments as a 2 year old, that the radiation could cause her permanent teeth not to develop (seriously? what else does my princess have to go thru?). Dr M explained that it is normal for big girl teeth to take their time growing in, he also showed me the x-rays that her big girl teeth had developed and he thinks she will have another loose baby tooth soon, that another big girl tooth wants to come in. Madison favorite part is the water and the suction straw, she giggled each time she put her lips around the straw. Austin did great. I didn’t go back with him because well, he’s 12 and doesn’t need mom holding his hand. He got a clean check up. This kid did not get my teeth; he has only had one cavity ever. Zac had 4 cavities, all in-between his teeth. I think we need to focus on flossing with him.
Madison's MRI has finally been approved and is scheduled for Tuesday March 30. In just 12 days. Madison says that she will be a brave girl this time; she just doesn't want to be held down. So, I made a deal that I would help them do "the mask" (sedation) with her sitting up. Let just hope the doctors will agree to my deal or I am in trouble.
Time to get my princess ready for bed, i just have to break her away from Nick Jr. Wish me luck
xoxo
