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...

the great answer hunt in the land of Infantile Spasms

If I've said it once... I've thought it a million times more. How it's like the more I research...and discover...about IS. The more blurry everything becomes. For every answer found. A dozen questions are unearthed. Remember our whole ARX saga ? Yeah...that threw me for a loop. So much so...that I never went on to post the end of the story. Thus far... See...the unbelievable in the world of genes happened. Because this is IS-ville after all. After Dr. Genes sampled Trevy's ARX gene on a whim...a whim which revealed an unkown (meaning the first time this specific change was found) mild mutation...she proceeded to send Toby's blood off to mad scientist central. With assurances that this was totally unnecessary . She was convinced that Trevor's ARX mutation was the underlying cause of his Infantile Spasms. And that Typical Toby...would prove to be just that. Typical...at least in all areas mutate-able. And yet...Toby's ARX blood sample revealed THE SAME MIL...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...
