Well little miss Ella woke up Wednesday morning and was crying that her tooth hurt. Wasn't to sure what to think about that, but after talking with some people realized that kids don't cry over cavities so it must be something more serious. Luckily for us our daycare mom's daughter is a dental hygienist and was able to squeeze Ella into the dentist on Thursday for some x-rays. Turns out she had some decay that was affecting the nerve and that is what was causing her all the pain. They numbed her up immediately and did a pulpotomy on her. (That is like a root canal for kids). They just go in and pull the nerve out and then fill the hole. We are so proud of Ella, she went into the room all by herself and the hygienist said that she did better than a lot of adults do. Afterwards she was doing very well, no pain, just a numb half of her face which felt very funny to her. Since she couldn't feel her face she kept chewing on her lip and it ended up swelling up huge. Had to ice it and hopefully now this morning when she wakes up it will have gone down. Anyways that is the story of our brave little girl. Mommy is soooooo very proud of her!!!
