Wisdom Teeth

Alexis had her Wisdom teeth removed on June 2nd. I was all prepared with my video camera to get great footage of her speaking silly talk after the procedure while she was coming off the drugs.. but no, she was normal (ok, that on its own can be silly sometimes, but that was not my goal).
The procedure went a little longer than expected due to the top two teeth having roots that went up towards her sinus area. She actually felt the pressure of the last one being broken, but none of the pain.

Alexis spent the week sleeping and holding her cheeks, as if they were going to explode. When she went back in for her check up everything looked great. Our dentist, Dr Ellis, gave Alexis a gift while she was there; he strung her teeth on a several strands of floss and made a necklace. Wow, how thoughtful.
