Today Nea-Bug had a dental procedure at UNC Children's Hospital. Nealie did quite well with dental visits until the summer. A baby tooth in the front would not fall out even though the permanent tooth was almost completely in. So our wonderful dentist Dr. Debbie Smith gave her a little sniff-sniff of the laughing gas and BAM...an orangutan was born!!!
Two of us wrestled her for over an hour...sweating bullets and laughing like little girls towards the end!! NEVER AGAIN...I said!!! So when Dr. Debbie found an issue with a molar, we decided to give Nealie general anesthesia and fix the molar, make x-rays, get a good cleaning, and apply sealants.
This morning we set out at 7:15 for a 9:45 surgery. All smiles on the way...dancing to music and tickling dad's ears!!!

Hurry up and wait is what you do in hospitals. Keeping an inquisitive 8 year old entertained while starving her proved quite challenging, but we succeeded!! Finally, at 12:30ish (yes...that long of a wait) it was our turn to put on these spiffy new pj's!! You truly are a diva princess if you can look this dang cute in Youth Large scrubs!!!
Everything went very well...no issues at all. No pics, but on the way home Nealie downed 5 strawberry newtons, 1McD's cheeseburger, and small fries. Before going to bed, she at some applesauce. I'd say she made up for no food in the first half of the day!!
