Doctors and dentist

I feel like I am torturing my baby!  I know it is all for her own good and improvement of health, but it is tough when you can't explain it to them. Last week, we went to the family doctor and Leeza got 4 shots for her immunization.  Yesterday, we took her to the International adoption clinic at Vanderbilt to see the doctor there.  She had a whole list of things on her medical form that caused us concern, so we wanted someone to look at her who has experience with institutionalized children.  While there, they took 4 vials of blood.  Mama and Leeza both cried.  Papa held her while they took the blood.  She screamed so loud and I cried right along with her.  I tried not to let her see me cry, but it was utterly heartbreaking.  Today,  we went to the dentist.  I thought we were just going for an assessment of the situation, but it ended up as an extraction of 3 teeth!!  They were seriously infected and needed to come out right away.  She did much better at the dentist.  I guess the laughing gas helped.  She laughed and smiled through the whole process.  Thankfully, it was quick.  She has to go back in a couple of weeks to get some of the other teeth crowned.  Her entire mouth except her teeth in the very front have terrible cavities.  Bless her heart, they have to hurt.  She claims they don't.  The interpreter at the adoption clinic asked her if they hurt.  But then she always says no...she is never hungry, never has to pee, never tired...etc.....  So there is no way to know for sure if the teeth hurt.  They look horrible however.  I am thankful that they can crown the rest rather than pulling all of them.  She only has two of her adult teeth in the front.  Her adult teeth were all there in her gums, thank God!  The dentist didn't want to pull anymore because he said the baby teeth are the guide for the adult teeth to come in correctly.  She is still going to need braces one day, but why make it worse if we can avoid it. 
She cried the entire ride home in the car.   I held her hand and kept telling her we love her.  Zhenya was sweet too...he would pet her hand and tell her it's okay.  Once we got home, she just wanted to cuddle papa.  She slept for a bit. 
This is one part of the having children process, you just don't think about.  It is heartbreaking watching them cry from something that is for their own good and not understanding why.  She still has a way to go medically, so any prayers her way are greatly appreciated!
