Mantha Sedation Dentistry

Mantha was fed through an IV for a long time when she was little. When we took her home from the hospital at 5 months old she only needed 18 hours of IV feedings, then we cut it down to 12, which we did at night. Eventually we were able to remove the central line completely and give her all her calories orally. At that point we had to give her several bottles of pedia sure at night to replace the IV fluids and calories. This was a HUGE milestone for us, and was not expected to happen until she was at least 5!
Anyway, all those bottles of pedia sure every night for over a year completely ruined her teeth. So, she had lots of cavities to fill and possibly a few caps too. Well, she was really nervous (she is very traumatized by anything medical and screams and cries) so we were expecting the worse before and after the surgery. Before was ok, until I handed her to the Doctor to take her back and she started crying and I started crying. Most Awful moment ever!
Then the nurse came in and told us they didn't need to cap the 3 they thought then needed to! We were so thrilled! She had enough tooth left to dig out the cavity and fill it instead of capping it. Which was a big deal to us.
When they were done and she was waking up they wheeled her in to us and she was really groggy. We cuddled her and gave her some juice (she was fasting for 12 hours prior and they have to watch her drink and keep down some liquid before discharge). Well, she sipped her drink and did NOT want to leave! She was still a little groggy, but she has NEVER wanted to stay in any hospital ever. They kept coming in and checking on us and finally after 1/2 hour or so made her get her clothes on and kicked us out. (They needed the room). I still get a kick out of this video. :)
