toothless in boston (again)

IT was a day of JOY, a day of simcha, it was a day the whole family came together, and then without any warning they came... (IT WAS young chaims bar mitzvah) and then chanalana fell off the back steps to the house and knocked out her front tooth ! (not funny shauli, stop laughing) the little itty bitty one in the bottom front that we waited soooo long for. its gone. and now we thank hashem for the big poofy coat that protected the rest of her body, for the fact that she didnt hurt herself any worse than a tooth. for the fact that she didnt have many teeth surrounding the one that got knocked out because if she did it may be more than just one tooth that she wont get till shes 10. for the fact that while her sisters will be putting straws though the spaces in their teeth she can join them and not feel left out. devorah called me at clinic freaking out and my cell phone wasn't working so she called number i left for her and i called her back and the dr told her to call the dentist but she couldnt remember the asian names of the dentist we go to, MENG, LEE, CHO, JUA, so many asians to choose from. and so i suggested to just bring chanalana over there and they will see her. and she did and they did but they are stupid dentist ( i am not an anti dendite, or anti asian) and they couldnt look in her mouth because she wouldnt open her mouth, so they sent her home, and told us to watch her and make sure she drinks a lt after she eats, and the doc said we ( devorah) had to check her diapers for 3-5 days f to hopefully find the elusive tooth that is no onger in its proper place in my dughters mouth but rather is in the proper place in the great universe. if the totth does not come out (again) we will need to take xrays of my baby to see if she aspirated it and to make sure its not in her lungs, and also to make its not eating her. well b'h she is feeling better, and she doesnt even know her tooth was supposed to stay for this long, she never had them before. so that is what i find solace in. you can send well wishes and checks to our home address and they will be cashed promptly and the cards will be hung up on her bedroom.

  • Two things come to mind
    1 : Didn't you once threaten one of your daughters that if they bite you agan youwill take awayyour teeth? Now if they bite agan yu can tell thme you took away one of chanalana's (I threaten Jonah with that but it doesnt work yet)

    2. When I was in Israel for the year, I was playing Roller Hockey, I got tripped and landed on front tooth. Dothing else, didn't get a scratch on me, but my front tooth recracked in half.
