Then, during the State of Origin, (the night before her exam) she came out to the lounge room and her mouth was bleeding and she was very upset.
As she should have been as the molar tooth that was being used to hook her orthodontic expander in had fallen out and whilst it was out of the gum, it was still attached to the expander!
We calmed her down, got the tooth free and she spent the night in our bed given she was very sore and sorry... she had a whole where her tooth had been and now had the sharp hook of the expander catching on the hole and I guess her tongue and gums.
Nevertheless, she got up in the morning, did the ballet exam and came out beaming that she had done well and hadnt made any mistakes! Then it was off to the orthodontist who did an emergency patch job in which he clamped the now free wire like expander so that it wouldn't be sharp in her mouth, but she will still have it for at least another couple of months...
She was very brave to do her exam and she seems to have done very well and we await the results...
