We came home from our trip on Wednesday because we had to get ready for Isabella's MRI. The doctor had ordered another MRI and we decided to get her teeth done at the same time. Isabella had to be sedated for the procedure, so we had to get a doctors approval that she was in good health. That was Thursday then Friday at 5:30 in the morning we had to be at the hospital.
She was cleared from the doctor, so Friday was a go. That was quite a early morning. Isabella was so excited when I got her out of bed at 4:45 am, she had no idea what was going on, but she loves to go, go, go so off to the hospital we went. We had problems at the check in with our insurance, but finally we got to the pre-op. Isabella got her pretty gown on and met nice people trying to get her ready, but all she was interested in was, where was breakfast. She couldn't eat before the procedure so she was beginning to get impatient. I got her to relax and we cuddled on the bed, but just when she was calm someone else would walk in with more information, or things to sign. She had finally had enough so, we walked the hall, I am pretty sure she was on a search for food. I am not sure why we had to be there at 5:30 for a 7:30 surgery, but finally they came to get her.
They said their good bye, and for some reason I had to get all choked up. It is never fun to watch your baby go off to surgery. The nurse came in to help me gather my things, saw my eyes and said "would you like a moment?" She said it happens all the time, walked out of the room and closed the door, to give me a minute. I got myself together and went to the waiting room. My parents met me there after a while and I got to share my photos from our trip.
The MRI went well, and her results are all normal, so that is good. She had blood tests and we are waiting on the results from that. Unfortunately the dental surgery was a bit longer then we had expected. Isabella hates, Hates her teeth messed with. We have quite a struggle brushing and flossing her teeth. The dentist have never seen any cavities, but she throws quite the fit when they look in her mouth. That is why we had her sedated for this dental procedure. They were able to get x-rays and saw five cavities between the teeth. Because Isabella grinds her teeth they had to put crowns on all five teeth. I am thankful they found them and they are now all fixed. They put sealants on her other molars, hopefully we can prevent future problems.
Just thought I would share an update on Isabella, more exciting news to come. God bless, have a great day.
