Poor Eden was cursed with teeth that just want to have cavities. Her molars touch and developed cavities between both sides on the bottom between the touching teeth. After many dentist appointments to try and fill the cavities without anesthesia, Eden basically had a cavity drilled out without any numbing medicine that is how tough she was. She gave a good effort, but it was too much. We had the procedure scheduled for when I should have been 37 weeks thinking it would give us time before Connor got here, but it fell at pretty bad timing.
Derek went to work, my Mom was home with Elara and I took a break from the hospital and Connor to be with Eden. Overall the procedure went well, but the night before Eden got sick with a fever. We couldn't cancel it as this had been going on for months and the cavities were finally hurting her teeth, so we gave her tylenol and went. She did great! She was a little crazy waking up from the anesthesia and just felt miserable. The poor girl spit up the medicine. On the drive home she was too tired to touch her milk shake and by the time we got home she started throwing up and couldn't stop. It went on for about 24 hours and she hadn't eaten anything for about 18 hours before the procedure since they started so late. She got really dehydrated and we needed some zofran and didn't have any left in the house. So, we took her to the pediatrician who got very nervous at how dehydrated she was and they admitted her to the hospital.
Eden's poor teeth hurt her so bad, she had a fever, couldn't stop throwing up... She was miserable. Once we got to the doctors office and Eden threw up water everywhere they immediately got us some zofran and she started feeling better once she stopped throwing up.
She was diagnosed with dehydration, urine infection, and something else... I can't remember. Thankfully Derek was able to get work off to stay the night with her and the next day while I got some rest at home so I could get back to Connor. So glad we had my Mom here helping out. It was rough! I had only been home from the hospital about a week and a half, so I was still very sore and tired, Connor was in the hospital, and then to have Eden was just the kicker!
Somehow we survived and we can say we are a pretty tough little family.
I'm so proud of Eden, and how strong she is. I'm certain this isn't the last of nasty teeth, but she is a determined little girl to be tough and still smile. We love you Eden!
A day later...
