Sydney's Teeth

Sydney went in this morning to get her teeth worked on. She got two fillings in her top front teeth and she got a silver cap put on a tiny molar in the back. We had to get up really early and Sydney had to be fasting, but surprisingly Sydney did so good. I on the other hand had all kinds of anxiety that always comes when ever Sydney has any type of procedure done. I did really good though, I only cried as the anesthesiologist took her away. It brought back some of those same feeling that I had when Sydney was a baby and was wheeled away from me in her tiny little hospital crib on her way to have open heart surgery. Two very different situations but two very similar feelings. Feelings of anxiety, fear of the unknown, helplessness and of not being in control, washed over me and I could not hold back my tears. The procedure only lasted about an hour and then Sydney was right back in my arms again. She was pretty sad and cried a lot, but she did a lot better after the I.V. was out of her arm. After they let us leave, we went to Grandma's house to pick up Brock and Sydney threw up all over my Mom's living room, me, herself and her blankets. We stayed at my Mom's until Sydney was a little bit better and then came home. She has been very good at home and is now playing and acting like nothing happened. She loves looking in the mirror at her silver tooth, she thinks it is awesome!

Sydney thought that her Tiger jammies were really cool!
