you asked...

A frenulectomy-- the dentist cut a membrane that went from the middle of her upper lip and between her two front teeth.  I guess we are all born with this, but usually it breaks between the two front teeth when we are babies.  Since Makenna's didn't break, she's had a huge gap (she thinks she lost a tooth there,) and the membrane would have always acted like a little inner tube between her teeth (even if she had braces) causing her teeth to always shift a little.

I watched Makenna's little surgery through an office window.  I winced through the whole thing.  It looked like the dentist was just going in and jabbing and hacking at her mouth with a pair of nails scissors.  I'm so glad she's healed so well!  Maybe her adult teeth will come in a little closer together!

Makenna had to go to the Dr. again today.  All week, she's had to tinkle about EVERY 10 SECONDS!  He diagnosed her with Pollakiuria.  Anyone heard of that one?!?  Me neither.

Tomorrow we go to the Dr. for Camden.  He has a heart murmur and we're headed to the pediatric cardiologist.  I'm hoping for the best.  It's been a wild summer.

We just got back from a family vacation this last weekend.  And yesterday we decided to leave for Utah tomorrow.  It's the best place to be for the 4th!  So I'll have more to post when we get back!
