This morning we took Dillion in for his dentist appointment with the specialists in Lansing, wow that is one nice office with a great staff! But here is the part that I knew in my heart would have to happen but I prayed that it could be taken care of differently. See Dillion has bottle rot more or less on his front teeth, and some things in this back teeth that were caused from the decay on his front teeth. Well there is needless to say a LOT of work that must be done in his little mouth. I was given 2 options: The first was doing the work in the office under a sedative(such as giving an adult a valum) but having to go there 3-4 times to get all the work completed...in the mean time scaring him from the dentist which at this point he is a tough boy when he goes to.
My second option is him going to the hospital, and being put under gene ral anestiea (sp?) in an operating room and all the work being done and over with in a day's time. I chose option 2...although I REALLY didn't want to, the thought of having my baby put under scares the living hell out of me! But I would rather he got it done and over with so he does not get any more decay and is not scared of the dentist for all of eternity.
This is going to be sometime within the next 6 weeks, and when we go it will be an all day thing...the Dr. told me to plan it for all day as it can take with all the pre op etc....like 6 hours to be done. I plan to find a sitter for CJ and Savannah and then make Claud go with me so I don't have to sit with only my nerves the whole time.
On top of this, I had to make an appt. for Claud to go to the Dr. on Monday as he finally showed me something on him (that has been there a year) that I am concerned about. At this point I will not say where or what it is, hopefully I am overreacting and it is nothing, but I want to be safe rather than sorry. I will let you all know more about it when I do.
Oh and I have yet another kidney infection, I get them once in awhile and I have to say I am sick of them. For the most part it only hurts in my back but the pain sometimes is worse than others, so I am laying around today...and trying to feel better.
I hope you all have a good weekend!

Mandy,
Please know that I am praying for both of your "boys" as they get things taken care of. If you'd like, let me know what day his surgery is and I'd be glad to have the kids over (as long as I don't have class that day). Jonathon is going to be bored out of his mind without his siblings home once school starts!! Thinking of you all,
Bec
