This week has been so crazy. Nick had dental surgery on Friday. It was tramatic for him and tramatic for me too. He is extremely difficult when it comes to the dentist. I took Friday off work because I knew it would be a tough day. When I tried to get Nick ready to go, he locked himself in my bedroom and refused to come out. I bribed him an.d gave in to giving him one of his birthday presents. I gave him the DS game I was going to give him. That got him into the car. He asked lots of questions about what was going to happen (1 impacted tooth (extra permanent tooth and his 2 eye teeth). When we pulled into the dentist office, he freaked out because he thought we were going to the orthodonist. He hates the dentist. So when I parked he got out and ran from me. I spent five minutes chasing him and then I called Rick to come help me. Rick got him into the office. The dentist stayed hidden because he knows how Nick is. The anesthesiologist put Nick out and the dentist pulled the teeth. When Nick was done, he was extremely out of it. He was so cute though, he kept telling me he loved me and wanted hugs. He also wanted Bailey. The nursed asked him to bite down on some gauze and he bit right into his lip. Rick had to take off work so I could watch Nick on the way home and stop biting his lip. He slept most of the day.
On Saturday, Ashley, Bailey and myself went Christmas shopping for most of the day. It was fun, but Bailey was super whiney. By the time we got home, I was iritated with her. She had picked out her new bed sheets and comforter for her new room. She was very happy about this. I checked on Nick when I got home and he was running a really high fever. I gave him some tylenol and he went back to sleep. After a couple of hours, I checked his temperature again and his fever was still high. I called over to the hospital and they said I should bring him in because he shouldn't be running a high fever. I took him in and they found that he had a strep infection. So not only did he have dental surgery, he has a bad strep infection. He slept most of Sunday and is not fever free. Bailey also woke up Sunday with a bad, bad sore throat and headache. I am assuming she has developed strep throat too.
I went to church and taught my Sunday school class without Rick. Rick felt pretty lucky. The lesson was a good one though, so I didn't mind. Only three of the kids showed up, so it was fun. Bailey had found an old book of Ashley's on how to make friendship bracelets, so after church, we put in Ramona and Beezus and made some bracelets. It was fun. I wish I had had the patience to do this type of stuff with Ashley when she was younger. I think its something I've learned as I've gotton older...take the time to learn and do fun things with my kids.
No pictures this week, I can't find my camera. All I want for Christmas this year is a new camera! Seriously need one before next weekend. We are holding to our family tradition of going to the SLC Temple and seeing the lights. So Excited!
