Today I took my oldest daughter to an oral surgeon because she had developed a bump on the inside of her lip which looked like a blister. A couple of weeks ago she had gone to her pediatrician for it and he said that it would have to be cut off. I was told that it would be no big deal just some local anesthesia and the oral surgeon would cut it off. Well I proceeded to make my daughter an appointment thinking they would cut it out and I could check her into school. I got there early so we had to wait in the waiting room for about 35 minutes before she was called back. When we got back there we were told that she was going to be put to sleep since she was so young. My first reaction, in my head of course, was great I'm here by myself and I have to drive this child home by myself who has been put under. All I remembered was last time we saw this oral surgeon with her, she had thrown up as soon as we got in the car. I did not come prepared for this. I did not have a bucket just in case, I forgot my cell phone for any emergency that my have arisen. Long story short she was just fine. I got to hear several good stories. She rambled on about her fingers and how she had 20, she had been on a roller coaster ride with bugs bunny, she told me over and over again how tired she was. This was not my smart alack 8 year old who thinks she's 15 talking, this was a little girl innocent and sweet sounding. She did not get mad when I looked her in the eye and laughed at what she was saying. We got home and she was in the bed for most of the rest of the day. She is also out of school tomorrow and maybe Thursday, but hopefully she will be able to return on Thurs.
