Ouch...
UPDATE: (11:00 a.m.)
-Kailyn slept through the night. Thank goodness for that side effect of Lortab. Unfortunately, I only slept about 4 hours. Went down at 3 a.m., then - BAM! - up at 7. -Sigh-
-Her upper right lip is incredibly swollen, probably from getting in the way of the tooth and the bedrail. Ouch. The tooth looks like it's realigned a bit, but it's still pushed back.
-She doesn't want to eat, drink, and even getting her medicine in her is a chore.
-The emergency line for our dentist STILL won't reach anyone...a full 12 hours later. Hopefully, it's just a problem with their paging/answering service and NOT an indicator of the 'norm.' Still, I'm so P.O.'d about that I want to scream. Not to mention, none of the other pediatric dentists in Decatur or Huntsville are reachable for emergencies since we're not 'current' patients of theirs. The only dentist I did manage to talk to (Thanks, Dana, for the referral) was very helpful, but doesn't treat kids under 5. So after umpteen-thousand phone calls all over North Alabama (including Birmingham), we're still right where we were when we came home last night, just a little more concerned about the swelling.
-And...(yes, and)...I still have a day's worth of other responsibilities that need taken care of. Fortunately, Stacey (who was supposed to work for Walgreen's today) was able to be home.
It's going to be a LONG weekend. Hopefully, I can get Kailyn looked at as quickly as possible on Monday...since it looks like we'll have to wait until then.
