a princess doesn't need teeth





Bristel has been such a super hero princess!









She only got misty eyed when the dentist had to take an x-ray. Everything else was cake!











Dr. Toofer said what with the swelling and newness of the trauma...it was hard to say just how much damage was done. And scheduled a follow-up for next week.








Bri-bee did lose a whole tooth. Roots to tip! Makes me a little queasy lookin' at it...










I sent the kids on a scavenger hunt yesterday afternoon to find the missing chomper. And they did...jammed between the back step! The accident itself happened out front... I'm no PI or anything...but the back step tooth leads me to believe that Bristel cracked her mouth again when she passed out!








A second tooth was chipped. Which was probably the chunkies I saw coming from her mouth. I know...lots of gory details!
::smile::





And a third was moved. It's now pointing towards her tonsils...





The doc doesn't really want to remove the tooth. Evidently it's better to leave it for nature's course. Cause after all...we're all happy it's just her baby teeth! (yes...I AM rolling my eyes! Cause seriously...my mommy heart doesn't think barbarically losing baby teeth is any better than the biggies!)





Her already juicy lips are super swollen too!





And maybe I'm crazy...





but I swear...






she couldn't be more adorable!










In fact...she begged to come along to Toby's ball game last night. So she could show off her "broken toof".






And show it off she did! To anybody who'd listen! Which she now has a lisp too...






and seriously...







SUPER cute!














Like last night at the game...






She plopped down in her lil' hot pink chair.






Scanned the crowd with her puffy lips and snaggle teeth...






princess face beaming...
and said...







and I quote...







"Ahhhhh...I jush feel shhhhoooooo boot-i-ful!"







God help me...







I LOVE this girl!

wow...She is taking it all so well! I can only see my oldest screaming and crying that she will not step foot out of the house until all is well again...yes, she's that vain and only 7! *sigh*

Those pictures just make me want to gather her up in my arms and rock her and cry.

Does it hurt her at all??

She hasn't complained AT ALL about pain! Honestly...I think she's giddy with all the attention. I've been keeping her hopped up on tylenol though...and watching for fevers. Which would not be good!

I love that sense of confidence that she has! I'm praying hard that she always always keeps it! And deeply believes that beauty isn't about the bod...cause lord knows it's been an area of struggle for me! But that's another blog! lol

Yeah...I second that motion after packing last years summer clothes away for :skinnier: days. I love thepictures...and ....well.....it reminds me of when Christian fell right outside our house and needed stitches. I swear (middle child syndrome...I am one myself after all) he did just maybe need a little extra lovin'. Wonder if he confessed that one yesterday.?

Yeah she was showing her teeth off to anyone who would listen. I think the story gets bigger every time she tells it. The one fact that stays the same is Toby did it. She got a whole lot of sympathy tonight. I swear it's like mother like daughter all over again. LOL (did I do that right???????)

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

I was talking about you today

That's right. You. Sitting there glued. To the computer screen. Getting your Trevy fix. You who hasn't been able to tear your eyes away. The one who checks back here gobs of times a day. Hanging on every post. Especially the dripping with drama or funny posts. Because you need to either laugh or cry alternately. Just like me. And somewhere...sometime...somehow...over the course of these past couple years... ...you found yourself here. Reading about me. About my family. About my Trevy. And slowly you were drawn in. Until you couldn't help yourself. You were head over heels. Unashamedly addicted. Maybe we connected in a support forum. Perhaps we're old college friends. I know we have family following. Hi guys! Some teachers and therapists. Maybe even a medical professional or two. Perhaps our kids play ball together. We might be FaceBook friends. Or you could be a friend of a friend. Even a complete stranger. But to us... you each have a very special pla...

runaway

I tend to be a live out loud kinda girl. But sometimes... well...sometimes life is just so heavy. So intense. So overwhemling. That it brings out the recluse in me. Like lately. The thing is...I know it'll pass. It always does. And I'll learn something. Grow. Hopefully. Survive. Certainly. Because I have to. It's just right now. In this particular heavy moment. I would much rather run away to some tropical paradise and sip martinis until Jonathan calls to tell me Trevy's back at home. Happy. And seizure free. With a new head of curls covering the scar and bouncing around the house. I am a coward after all. I've never denied that. And I really don't want to live through this next month. Which is probably why my posts will be random. At best.
