It is a good thing they give out trinkets!

It amazes me what Myah will do for a free pencil, sparkly toothpaste, a little ring, some stickers and a new toothbrush. I hope this will be enough incentive to encourage her to be a good girl at the dentist and doctor's offices. On Monday we start the first round of her dental work, the following Monday we do the rest ( and Dayton has all of his allergy and asthma testing in the afternoon). And yesterday we learned that the tonsils and adenoids (sp?) are coming out! I have to call on Tuesday to schedule the surgery, probably will be done in a few weeks. The ENT took one look at her enormous tonsils and said "yeah, they are huge!" He said they base them on a scale of 1 to 4 and hers were a 4 plus! I knew it! Don't ever stop listening to that mother's instinct on things, I once heard Oprah say that your instincts are usually the voice of God, I do believe it! I just didn't feel like our pediatrician was giving our concerns any validation at all. I won't get into all that our Doctor has done this past year to make us question her practice, I am just so thankful for our new Doctor, she took one look at both Dayton and Myah and reassured me that there is alot she can do for them. I can't express on here what a relief it is to Mark and I.
The ENT assured us that Myah would feel much better. To be honest, I am not sure if she "feels" bad, she is a tough cookie, she hardly cries when she is really hurt! However she is very irritable and snores very loudly at night, I doubt she gets a good nights rest. We had her sleeping in our room the other night because her new big girl bed wasn't ready just yet, and Mark had to put a fan right by his head in order to drown out our little princess! She can snore!!! I am praying that having her tonsils and adenoids removed it will take the edge off of her as well. I have seen so many glimpses lately of a very sweet caring little girl, after talking to the doctor's and other parents, I have to believe that alot of her "spicy" characteristics stem from not feeling well. We'll see!! We will have to stay a night in the hospital with her, only because she is under 3 years old.
So if you would just please say an extra little prayer for Myah over the next few weeks, I know that these aren't life threatening illnesses or anything like that but nonetheless, they are scary to her and she isn't allowed to take any aspirin like meds before having the surgery, so I am praying that her teeth won't hurt after the procedures because I can't give her anything for the pain. Good thing I didn't hang up my nurses hat just yet! Mark is going to try to go back to work on Monday night, his eyes are still healing but they are looking better every day! And on the bright side, there is the most adorable little coffee/snack bar inside of our new Doctor's building, it is a brand new facility and is just beautiful! They have great magazines for sale, and you know how I love my magazines! I am sad aren't I?
