Meredith was pretty groggy when we arrived at the dentist's office. Even though that was the case, she still screamed her head off while they were taking her back to the room.
Thankfully, she calmed down very quickly once she put on her sunglasses and they started her video. The dentist said that once she calmed down she did (and I quote) "pefectly". Yay!
The had a huge chunk of cotten in her mouth so that she wouldn't bite her lip. They told her she could take it out when she got home. She did, but her numbness hadn't worn off yet. Then, she started biting her lower lip (which they warned us might happen).
So, I rolled up some paper towel for her to chew on instead...this isn't making her happy AT ALL. She's actually sitting right next to me crying her little eyes out about it....hopefully she'll thank me tomorrow when her entire lip isn't chewed up. Probably not.
Anyway, thanks so much for the prayers! I think we're going to survive (at least until we have to do it again in two weeks).
