Syd's Oral Surgery

Tomorrow Syd is having oral surgery. She has to have her two top baby teeth removed. One of her permanent teeth is way, way up in her gums. They have to make a tunnel through her gums up to the tooth. It's a sort of like trail to coax the tooth to possibly come down on it's own. They will watch her over the next 6months. If this doesn't work they will have to go back in & put what they call a button on the tooth to pull it down. But we pray it won't get to that. Poor Syd...every time she has had an accident it has involved her mouth/teeth. As a two year old she had several falls & in the last couple years was even cracked in the mouth by Carson with a golf club. They assume all of these accidents have jammed that tooth way up in there. Those teeth have brown spots on them from all these incidents & she is VERY self conscious about them. Friends think she doesn't brush her teeth or she has food on them. It's so sad! I will be so happy for her when her beautiful permanent teeth are in. Tonight she didn't seem nervous about her big day. Her only request was that she get to put her teeth under her pillow for the tooth fairy. Although since seeing the 'Tooth Fairy Movie', she would really like The Rock to come get her teeth! :) She is such a sweet girl! Love you Syd!
