I haven't participated in a Weekly Wrap Up in far too long. So here I am, catching up. This was a pretty busy and somewhat stressful week. It went a little something like this:
Monday was Bram's first dentist appointment. He has a few cavities and I feel like the worst mother on earth. He's TWO! And he has CAVITIES! Ugh. But he enjoyed his visit, so that's a plus, right?
Tuesday Fox got his braces off!! Woo Hoo! He was very excited. The orthodontist sent him home with a bag of treats he couldn't eat before, like taffy and gum. He also got a retainer. He's been showing off the pearly whites ever since!
Wednesday was Bram's appointment at the pediatric dentist our regular dentist referred us to. Apparently Bram has extremely deep grooves in his molars and in order to do the work needed it would require a hospital visit with sedation and they can fix everything at once. The idea of putting him to sleep so young scares me, but I think it will be easier than hours and hours in the dentist chair. I pray.
Thursday I contemplated running one of our dogs to the vet. She's been having severe constipation issues. The vet thinks it may be due to the antibiotic she's on, but I don't know. I've been having to give her soft food slathered with bacon grease, baby prunes and metamucil in order for her to be able to pass anything. Otherwise she is whining to go out (literally) 10 times a day and strains and strains. Oh and we went to see Toy Story 3, IT WAS SO GOOD!
Friday Bram went to the doctor because every once in a while he will stop what he's doing, grab his head, cry in pain for a minute and then be fine. It's only happened a few times, but he always grabs the same place, kind of behind his left ear. And this scares me because it is the same place my Uncle (who is alive and well) had a noncancerous brain tumor. Bram is having a CAT scan tomorrow morning just to be safe, so please say a prayer for him!!
Wow - you've had the range of dental appointments this week! Prayers for the CAT scan tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteDon't feel like a bad mom. Josh and Brianna have never had a cavity, but Megan has had six. Yes, six. I hate it and feel awful, but, really, my parenting skills haven't declined that much since my first kid. I really think some kids are just more prone to cavities...softer teeth or something.
ReplyDeleteYay for Fox getting his braces off! I know he's excited.
I'll be praying about the CAT scan.
Wow, busy week at the dentist. Don't feel bad about the cavities. Sometimes that's just the kind of teeth they have.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest when 6 years without any. Including 3 years in Guam where there's no flouride in the water. Then she came down with 6. At once. And we were still brushing her teeth ourselves once a day. (She did morning, we did night.)
Praying for Bram and your peace of mind.
Wow, what a dentist-filled week. Braces off is good; the rest...well, I can identify with your responses! Absolutely.
ReplyDeleteHow did the CAT scan go? If you haven't heard by now, that's a good sign. Praying that all goes well
Blessings,
Annie Kate
