Feeling Sad : (

Yesterday poor DD2 fell down the stairs. Poor thing! She was ok except for a tooth that she had bumped. It had moved back from its original position and it bled some. Unfortunately, it continued a slow bleed all through the day and night. It looked pretty gross this morning. I took her to the dentist today. They took an x-ray and it showed that the root was broken. The tooth needed to be removed. The dentist said that in the case of removing a front baby tooth, it was best to remove both. I think he said that it was best for the alignment of the other teeth and the permanent ones coming in later. Here are her teeth. You can totally see that the roots were broken off of the one tooth: (SORRY--IT'S GROSS)Now I just feel horrible! After watching her go through that and then wondering if I should have gotten a second opinion, I just feel sick. I can't really cry about it because the kids are all here and I don't want them to worry. I've really liked him as a dentist and have no reason not to trust his opinion. It was just such a whirlwind and I didn't really expect to have to have even one tooth pulled. Now I'm worried about speech development and all kinds of things. Ugh. I wish DH was home, even though he can't really do anything. It would just be good to have him here.

On a happier note, my final Christmas present. I love it!
