Rendi Gets Her Mouth Jewelry!

Braces Day for Rendi!

One last smile with the sisters.

Hair flying...eyes closed...deep breath....HERE I GO!!!
Beautiful and beaming!
Awww...but the sad news is that by the time AWANA was over she was hurting pretty bad. Shower, tylenol, and bed was what she craved. She tried to eat some mac-n-cheese and some mashed potatoes, but didn't eat much.

I have to just take this moment to say how much we LOVE Ozark Orthodontics in Fayetteville (they have Rogers and Ft. Smith offices as well). They are SO kind and truly caring. We see the same faces every time and THEY ARE NEVER FROWNING!!! They are always happy and cheerful....GENUINELY SO!!! It's amazing in this day and age the service those employees give. They treat each patient as if they are the most important person in the world. I could list a million details and reasons, but I'll stick to just this one...

At 7:00 pm (well after hours, mind you) I received a phone call from the office to check up on Rendi and see how she was feeling. They asked if she'd tried eating anything and talked about how in a couple of hours she'd probably be feeling it a lot more (hit that one right on the head!). They talked about eating mushy foods for the next few days, etc. What is just so amazing is simply that the woman on the other end of the phone TRULY cared. She wasn't just making a routine call that was required of her. We truly enjoy our visits to the orthodontist. How many teens/pre-teens/parents can say that??? LOL

On another note.....they ABSOLUTELY LOVED the shirts!!! (I'm so glad b/c it would have been bad if it went the other way!) They took pics of them to send to Dr. Pickard. They asked if I could make more. LOL I'm really glad they didn't get a better look at the lack of craftsmanship!!! I even got asked if I could make a onesie for them....How funny! :0)
