Surgery Update

Jeff made it through like a champ and has a beautiful grill to show for it.

The day started off pretty rough. At the hospital a woman tried to snatch Jeff. It was truly the scariest thing I've ever experienced in my life. He's home safe & sound... and I'm never letting him leave the house until he's 50.

I had reached into my purse to grab my insurance card and in that 30 sec. she had grabbed him. I tear up just thinking about it again.

So after that it was time for Jeff to be taken back to surgery. I was a complete emotional wreck by that time and I have no idea how I held it together. I got to undress Jeff and put his gown & socks on. They even let Mawigi go back with him for the surgery.

His teeth were not as bad as Dr. Jeff (or denta as Jeff calls him) thought they were. Jeff ended up getting 4 root canals and caps on the top front teeth and then some sealants in the back.

When he started to wake up in recovery he was crying when he saw the IV still in his hand and the nurse gave him a shot of morphine. A few minutes later he was still crying so she gave him another shot of morphine. Needless to say he was out of it until we got home.

Today he's back to climbing the walls.. none wiser to the fact some woman tried to take him or that he went through a 2 hour surgery. The only evidence that anything happened is the hospital bracelets that are still on the two of us (something they put on right after the baby snatching incident). Neither of us want to take them off. Jeff because he thinks it's cool and me because it's a bit of a safetly blanket. Not sure if that makes a lot of sense but that's how it's gonna have to be for the next few days.

Surgery Today

I'm taking Jeff to the hospital for surgery on his teeth today.

I'm a little nervous as they have 2 hours blocked for the surgery and he'll be under anethesia. He'll be getting a root canal, some caps, and some sealants.

We have to be there at 10, they'll be taking him back at 11:30, and then 1-2 hours in recovery.

Praying that everything goes well and he'll be showing off his new grill later tonight. :)

April Fools!

Ok it looks like y'all were on to me anyway. I am not pregnant.

I was going to April Fools Rob with that little joke but I figured I would have given him a heart attack. lol

Surprising News!!!

I had to take a pop quiz today.. and it resulted in two lines!

Getting Back to Normal

Wow, it's been a while. I had to take a bit of a hiatus while all of us were sick. Jeff had RSV which was a bit scary and he's finally able to sleep now without coughing all night.

I'm beginning to get back into the swing of things. Spring Fever has set in and I'm anxious to take Jeff to the zoo, go for walks, plant a garden, do landscaping, and deep clean the house. My first task is to get the house in order. I started decluttering some hotspots tonight.

We finally got a check from the insurance company to redo the floors, ect.. but found out last week that they no longer make our flooring. Ya know.. the flooring that we have from one end of the house to the other. I called the insurance guy and he said that if our flooring cannot be found then they will replace all our floors.

Travis had his cast removed last week and he's extremely happy about that.

Alan brought home a wonderful report card, we are so proud of him.

Not much going on other than that. I've read probably 15 books in the last month so I'm anxious to write up some reviews. I'm really anxious to get back into the groove of blogging again.

It's good to be back.

M.I.A

It's never ending!

I've been absent this past week because sickness has hit our house.

My last post I mentioned about everyone's appointments. Well later that night Jeff & Rob woke up with 102 fevers. Rob got better eventually but Jeff never did. I won't go into all the specifics but today we found out he has ear infections and strep throat. We did get some meds so hopefully he'll be feeling better soon. - However, my throat began hurting today so I'm praying that I didn't catch it!

Anyway.... I should be back into posting action tomorrow. I've read a few books that I can't wait to give reviews on.

Have a great night all!

A day of appointments

Travis had a doctor's appointment today with the Orthopedic Surgeon. On the way over he was praying that they would remove his cast. When the doctor asked if Travis had any pain in his thumb Travis quickly replied, "No!" I don't think he would of said yes if his life depended on it. So the cast is off but the high tech splint is on. Travis is on cloud 9 because the doc said playing video games is great therapy for his thumb. Remind me to send a thank you card for the doc for that - Not!

Jeff was up next, he had a dentist appt. this afternoon. It went great - sort of. The great part is that Jeff loves his dentist and did not make a fuss about sitting in the chair and letting the doc look at all of his teeth with the mirror. I think it helped that they have flat screen tvs tilted so you can watch movies while they are looking at your teeth. I wish that was my dentist too!

Anyway, Jeff has to have 5 caps put on his teeth. Sad I know. It's from nursing him to sleep so many nights when he was younger. I had nursed him until right before his 2nd birthday and it damaged his teeth greatly. So next month we are going to take him to the hospital and they are going to put him under while doing all the dental work.

Next on the list was my appointment... with the girls! Paige & Jordan needed help with their Pearl Harbor project. I was exhausted from an entire day out but with a little help from Rob their project was completed.

After everyone left the house and all the boys gone to sleep I collapsed on the couch and watched the AI Wild Card Show. Who the hell let Tatiana back in the building? That girl needs a one way ticket back to crazy town.

Tomorrow is a full day of working and trying to get my house clean. Rob leaves for drill this weekend so just me & the boys again. Think I can send the boys to the Army with Rob and have a weekend to myself?
