First visit from the tooth fairey!

Its been a long summer & there is a lot to catch up on, but first is the excitement over the loss of Wytner's first (2) teeth! It was early morning on a Tuesday and I was rushing -trying to get the boys on the bus so she & I could get ready for therapy. I sat down to read her a book & realized that she was missing her front bottom tooth, the the second bottom tooth was barely hanging on. I freaked out for a second, checked her for signs of trauma -thinking she fell or hit her face...but saw nothing! I threw together a "to go" bag and made an emergency stop at her dentist on the way to therapy. She screamed as 3 of us held her down for x-rays (she has a GREAT dentist, we love her!) In the end...it was just TIME! Her teeth are all healthy, no trauma...she is just growing up (at 4 yrs old). We did hold her down & pull the other tooth that was hanging so she didnt swallow or choke on it (she did NOT like that)...The rest of the day we talked about it & the tooth fairey. Way to go Wynter!

After surgery

Wytner had surgery on her left thumb last week and we had to make some adjustments today to the open wound that surgery left behind. Thank you all for your prayers as she underwent 2 sedations and the surgery. The Lord answered our prayers and she made it through very sucessfully. The HARD part has been all of the side affects. She had a VERY acute reaction to the first pain medication: massive hyperness, out of controll behavior- even violent at times- NO SLEEPING, massive constipation to name a few... She also has had to keep one sometimes both arms in splints to keep them straight so that she couldnt get her hands to her mouth- or to each other... By the 4th night mommy was able to get about 6 hours of MUCH NEEDED sleep. She is sleeping better, and seens to be tollerating the braces and pain pretty well...but we are still having constipation problems and mild behavior issues right now...Hopefully in the next few days we will begin to be on the upside of all this. It has been a LONG 15 months of dealing with this thumb. We will be greatful to have this issue behind us!
But God is good and His grace and mercies are made new to us each day. In every season He continues to prove Himself faithful, and it is to God we will cling!
