Dental Work

Knowing the weather would get bad, we spent last night in the hotel with Jake and Luke in order to be in Ames for Jake to have his dental work done. He had to go to the hospital for the dental work as it was so extensive. We were all very nervous for Jake. He didn’t know what he was in for. He was dressed in a gown and waiting on a bed when a nurse gave him liquid Tylenol. After some time, I realized he did not swallow it. He held it in his mouth for a long time before I could convince him to swallow. I got to go with Jake to the anesthesiology prep room. I held Jake’s hand and he was being very brave as he looked at all the equipment. Then the doc had to take Jake back alone. I was so sad I wanted to cry. Jake was holding my hand as hard as he could and didn’t want to let go. I told him I loved him and gave him a kiss. He was brave and did not cry. After 3 hours and 9 fillings, 5 crowns later, we got to see Jake. He was groggy and grumpy. I held him as he became aware of things. He was very uncomfortable and wanted his IV out of his arm right away. He continually said he just wanted to go home. It was an awful experience and made me realize how fortunate we are to have healthy children. We were only there for dental work. I cannot begin to imnagine having a child in the hospital for health reason.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
