Tooth Out, See the Specialist, Next Appointment, Next Surgery, Mow the Lawn

Jenna had an abscessed tooth and due to the quick and expert work of her sister Kelli who is a dental hygienist, it was determined it needed to come out. This is a baby tooth that had lasted almost 21 years, unbelievable! It is really too much to asked her big sister to give her the shots though and Kelli said that they were the hardest shots that she had ever given. Jenna was such a brave gal as she hates SHOTS and to think that she had to get three at one time, well it was almost too much. Kelli works for Dr. John Lee Roring, son of John Roring who is the son of Corrine Roring who then did a 90 second extraction. We very much appreciate him taking such good care of Jenna.

Today Jenna when to see the ear specialist and as we assumed the right ear (not the ear that got operated on) was infected and draining. He did a great job cleaning it out and ordered Jenna to have two ear drops per ear twice per day. If you know anything about Jenna and her ear drops she doesn't really care for them to the extent that she either hides the bottle or her preference of just throwing it away. Tough times are ahead but she will be brave and it should only take two or three of us to hold her down. The bottle will have to go under lock and key so we can find it.

Her doctor did indicate that it was time to start making plans to operate on the other ear. He suggested December sometime. I suggested some other time. So it looks like January for the other ear. It just makes me hurt for her to have to go through this again. This doctor is one of the doctors that Marilee works with when they do Children's Clinic in the County. He has been so good to Jenna and he always get a hug from Jenna at the end of the surgery or the appointment. A hug is a sign that they are still friends.

When we got home to tell Marilee about the news, well Marilee said that she was going to have a nap and then get up and mow the lawn. She had a very good nice sleep which has not occurred for several long nights in a row and with her nausea it has been a rough go of it lately.

She got an IPad for her birthday and will start trying the answer the hundreds of emails that have come in. Thank you so much for doing this and you kind consideration of love of my wife and my kid's mother. The kind words mean so much to all of us and especially Marilee.

Please cross your fingers as Ryan is at a job interview at this time at the the Fanzz store or the Big Five Sporting Good Store. He is a little board up here and is looking for some additional income. Those of you that know Ryan he would be a natural at selling sporting goods. I am afraid he will buy everything that he makes but that would be alright.

Thanks again to all of those that their thoughts, prayers, kind words, and other incredible things that have been going on. God Bless You All.
