Default toughest kid ever

my daughter who is almost 19 has spent the last few years in and out of the dentist chair. She was born with a rare birth defect that prevented her from getting most of her permenant teeth she has had gum grafting, the jaw surgery which was only really bad because she was throwing up after from the drugs and had her mouth banded shut. She acually felt better after a week and a half. She got some really bad sinus head aches. She refuse to go to school for a full two and half weeks because the swelling in face was huge she looked like really funny. She also was left with two scars on the outside of her face where they had to drill screws We have pictures. She had bone grafting on all four quads and the bone came from inside her hip which left a 5 inch scar. She's had 8 dental implants which took two more surgeries and today she spent 8 hours having her teeth preped for 21 crowns and a bridge. She has two more appt and will have a 150,000. smile. One tough kid!
