Challenges Keep on Coming

Lolo had oral surgery yesterday. She had an extra permanent tooth that was horizontal in her pallet and was blocking the descending of her regular permanent teeth. The doctor had to remove three of her top baby teeth to access the extra permanent tooth.

The prescription they gave her to relax her before surgery made her kind of confused and she cried before she go the IV but when they got it in she said that she didn't even feel it.

The surgery took about ten minutes and I got to go back to see her wake up. She was really knocked out and I had to carry her out to the car. She rode lying down with her head in the wife's lap. When we got home we looked at the gauze in her mouth to change it out since it was becoming soaked with blood. The wife found an extra tooth just protruding out of the gauze. She apparently had lost a bottom tooth right after surgery or when they put the gauze in her mouth. We were happy she didn't swallow it.

She definitely has a different smile now with all those teeth missing. She certainly is growing up.

Adrienne went to the doctor on Thursday because she had been constantly complaining (very loudly when in public) that her bottom itched. The doctor diagnosed her with a yeast infection and gave her medicine. She had been on teh medicine now for almost three days and she cried about all day today that her bottom hurt and itched. She urinated on the floor and on the sofa so we are now worried about a urinary tract infection. We went through so much hell with Lolo- we certainly don't want Adrienne to go through that too!

Atticus has a toy catalog that he as obsessed over for almost two days now. He looks through all the pages and asks me or the wife what each toy is and how much it costs. He is particularity fond of a Harley Davidson motorcycle battery operated toy that he could ride. It is $219 (I can remember the price because he has asked me how much it costs about fifty times today) so I don't think we will be getting that for him.

I drank too much red wine last night.
