Dentist drama....

Well, today was the day.  Abbie was booked into the dental van to have 2 teeth out.  They're back ones, only baby teeth, but they have a little absess each.  She has had 2 temporary, and unsuccessful, fillings in both,  so we are now having to have them out.  She has been on antibiotics all week to get rid of the absesses.

Anyways....get to the dentist and Abbie just cried.  I don't think I've ever seen her so scared.  After 30 minutes of gentle, then firm coaxing, we gave up.  The dental ladies were SO lovely. 

So, I have now got an appointment with an Paediatric Orthodontist (I can hardly pronounce this!) this afternoon to have the teeth looked at.  Then they can put her under a general anaesthetic in the surgery to have both teeth removed.  OR, we could wait 8 to 10 months on a waitlist to have it done under public health.  I can't imagine making her wait any longer though, it must be so uncomfortable.

I cried a little.  I had great teeth as a kid and it kills me to think my poor little girl needs to have 2 removed under a general.  I think it's just the thought of her going to sleep.  It may happen next Thursday.  Have to wait and see what comes of today.

Oh well, that's my drama for the day, the week and this holiday!!  Hope everyone else is having a better break so far!!!

A big change.....

Well, it's official, I'll be teaching at Kallangur SS next year!  I missed out on the first round of transfers but by a stroke of luck, I have been posted.

Kallangur is only a short distance from my place!  I am really excited, nervous, scared and terrified that the new staff may not like me!!!  BUT, a change closer to home is what I need so here goes....

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday!!
