mady lost her first teeth!

Mady the day after her high chair accident
The day of
A week ago
Happier times!
Mady lost her first teeth about a week ago. The first tooth had to be pulled by the dentists due to an absest. It was her top front tooth. The second one, on the bottom, came out the next morning! She had an accident 2 years ago with the teeth she lost. We were out having lunch with my friend Taya for my birthday and Aaron and mady were playing with the high chair. Well the highchair went back on Mady and fell on her face hitting her teeth. Her teeth were all messed up. when I had looked down to see her on the floor with the high chair on her, her lip was missing also. Every single one of her teeth were placed different. The two top teeth were shoved up into her gums and all the other teeth were turned and shoved and yucky. The dentist told us that she would be very lucky if she kept them. So she was very fortunate to have kept them this long. We still don't know if the permanent teeth are o.k.. Her lip was fixed 2 days later. They wanted to wait to make sure there was no infection in her lip area. So first thing Monday morning she went into surgery to reconstruct her lip. The dr. essentially took skin out of her mouth where her lip was and pulled it out, and stitched it up. it actually looks pretty good, compared to how it looked. It was a very traumatic day and one I will never forget. I would have to say that right now that has been the worst day of my life as a parent. I am sure something else will take it's place, but for now this is the winner!!!

  3. Isn't it amazing what doctors can do to fix us up? Poor Mady, I'm glad she (and you) survived that ordeal. I think she looks cute with those teeth gone!

    Man those pictures after her accident, make me cringe poor baby. I can only imagine how horrible that day was for all of you.
    What an awesome blessing that she has healed so amazingly well.

  5. nice to read your blog. I just want to ask one thing as I've just started blogging at blogger. Every blog that I write, asks for a different blogspot address. To me it was fine till I saw yours where your no. of blogs are in the same address and this way I know my friends need not be told every time of the new blog. Please guide me how can I do that. Waiting for your answer. THANKS!!
