Adventures in Dentist's

Can you all take yet another story from the diary of the Walker Family? I guess that really isn't a question since if you are reading this you must somewhat get a kick out of the adventure's we seem to have in our house. Anyhoooooowwwww...here goes the story of the Adventures at the Dentist....

Monday morning Aubrey wakes up saying my tooth hurts...me thinking she just doesn't want to go to school "Aubrey you are fine, now hurry up so you aren't late for school" she comes home from school and goes to play with a friend. Around lunch time I get a phone call that says Aubrey says her tooth is hurting can I give her some Motrin...I say sure hang up and pound my head against the wall for not listening to her, buck up and call the dentist. We were able to get her an appointment for 4:30...Mind you this is the first really BIG thing Aubrey has had in her life. Never had a shot (no I don't immunize her), never had to give blood nothing. So we get there and they do an X-Ray they see that her tooth is BAD I mean to the point the infection went down into her jaw!! Can I just tell you I feel like the worst Mom ever!!! Dr. Miller tells me there is a very slim possibility to save it, but the pain wouldn't be worth it since it is a baby tooth so we decide to pull it....

We get the happy gas on her and of course she gets all happy and giddy it was actually quite hilarious. At one point she became quite un-girly like and started tooting!! I said "Aubrey say excuse me your a girl" Aubrey's reply "NEVER giggle giggle giggle" this had us all laughing pretty good. They started the anesthesia and she was such a big girl no tears nothing...it was good...until Dr. Miller tested the tooth and it wasn't numb...UGH...so we had to move up to the "high pressure" numbing stuff...mind you I am getting really nervous now..and this time the shots hurt her she had alligator tears and everything....I am trying to hold back tears of my own and then....finally this stuff started working and we were able to get that puppy pulled out!!! WHEW is all I could say....

After we got home she was actually in pain poor baby and she didn't want Mommy how sad is that???? she wanted Daddy who was out tilling the garden...so I go outside and tell Jim Aubrey wants Daddy, so he comes inside dirty boots and all Aubrey says "Daddy I want you to hold me it hurts" For those of you that know us well know that Aubs and Jim don't always see um let's say eye to eye they actually butt heads quite a bit so I am really surprised by all of this...Jim proceeds to take off his boots and get Aub's comfy blanket and cuddles with her all night!! It was the cutest thing actually even if my feelers got hurt I am glad that Daddy and Aubs are getting closer.

Needless to say Aubrey is now a member of the. "I lost a tooth club" at school, she got a nice present from the tooth fairy can you imagine 5 bucks!!! tooth fairy must have deep pockets now days LOL! (or be a total sucker, i am going with that one) She was proud to go to school today and even pose for some pictures of the gap now in her mouth.

I guess for the first experience it went as good as it could have....unless it wouldn't have happend in the first place..but then again these are the days of our lives!!
