-No teeth are coming out. Apparently the enamel has been "compromised" and the nerve has been damaged. However, it may spontaneously regenerate. if it *doesn't* then the tooth will go BLACK! but they won't take it out. we have to keep an eye on it whilst the nerve is sorting itself out in case of possible absesses (believe me, I have suffered this horror, if nora gets an absess, my god will we know about it) and if one occurs, she'll be referred to a paediatric dentist.
Right.
Coughing. Our Doc reckons Nora's showing asthma symptoms. In young kids this is characterised by really phlegmy, long and infectious coughs. Hmm. well, Mackay is asthmatic. It's not something that is particularly traumatising to learn. But at least now we have another way to confront this coughing without her having to resort to bloody antibiotics yet again (4 lots this winter, don't forget).
So we'll have to see how it goes. All the fun of the fair.
