Yesterday morning Keri was at the orthodontist to get an appliance cemented into the roof of her mouth to help spread her jaw out, there is no room for her teeth to come in. This spring the kid will be getting braces. Right now she can't talk, or eat, and she is drooling all over the place. I felt so bad for the kiddo last night. She normally is moving and eating around the clock. Last night she couldn't eat anything. She had some mashed potatoes, and a slushy I made her for dinner. She just kind of laid around and wanted me to hold her last night.

Today her chorus ensemble is going to Harrisburg to sing Christmas carols at the Capitol building, then taking a tour afterward. The have arrangements then to take the kiddos out to lunch, but she doesn't want to go. I'm going to watch them sing so she asked me to bring her home with me. I'll stop somewhere on the way home where we can try and get something for her to eat. I know a little ma and pop diner where we can probably get mashed potatoes, cooked vegetables, and ice cream. I was going to stop and pick up a few stocking stuffers, but I'll do that later.

Oh, that hurts. My brother went through all of that. I watched and it was why I chose NOT to have braces. I was borderline and there was no way I was going through all of that. The folks let me choose. My crooked teeth now are testament, I wish I did it now.

I had braces for 3 years, but just braces. Caleb had an appliance, too, but his was different, and not cemented in, he could remove it. We should have waited until after Christmas, but this was when they could get her in. Her orthodontist is older and only works 1 day a week, and he's off the entire month of February. She called me this morning and told me she was hungry. She asked if we could get ice cream for lunch today. I think that we will.

deehtz - 2012-12-19 9:59 AM Did I mention that I made dog biscuits this weekend?  My first try at homemade treats for them.  They are supposed to be healthier and less calories than the store bought biscuits.  My dogs LOVE them!

Good Morning, Ghoulies

Christmas party tonight.  Will be fun but a long day.  I think at least 85% of the people there are retired so don't have to worry about going to work tomorrow.  Oh well.

 

kns57 - 2012-12-19 2:16 PM Went to the dr. this morning.  He has ordered a MRI on the hip.  I'm not supposed to run.  Darn Doctor.

kns57 - 2012-12-19 2:14 PM My son went through something similar.  I had to turn it a couple of times each day for about a week or so to spread out the jaw.  It was painful.  Milkshakes are good.

ceilidh - 2012-12-19 2:32 PM

OUCH! I change my mind. I am glad I didn't have any orthodontia after all!

ceilidh - 2012-12-19 12:31 PM

Damn! I hope they find a solution though! That would be good.

kns57 - 2012-12-19 2:46 PM back in the day, when I had braces, they just pulled out four of my teeth because the mouth was not big enough.  but now they don't want to pull the teeth, so they spread the jaw.  ouch.

Cool! I was going to try that, but my pup doesn't like most dog biscuits and I was fearful it would be a waste of time. I know, I know, what kind of dog doesn't like biscuits? My former dog would do a cookie dance, she even knew how to spell cookie, biscuit,  and treat.

x2!

And that's supposed to be better??!!  Yikes!!!

deehtz - 2012-12-19 7:42 PM

You might try them.  This recipe makes a small batch and doesn't take much stuff.  My dogs do like treats but they are REALLY fond of these.  My shepherd has a touchy gut and a lot of foods and treats/biscuits give her the runs.  These biscuits don't seem to bother her gut at all.  They are also supposed to be lower calorie than biscuits like milk-bones which is important for my little dog.

That's what the device my daughter has is for, to spread her jaw because there is no room for the adult teeth to come in. I turn it 2 notches, once a day, for 2 weeks, then it will just sit there for another 2-3 months. I know the kid is hurting, but she doesn't like to take medicine so I can't get any motrin in her.

When I was her age, and I needed braces, I had 9 teeth pulled. I'm glad they don't do that anymore.
