We have seen some improvement in Isaac the last couple days. It is encouraging as we haven't done much but change his diet a bit to deal with the flare and now we have been adding foods back on and he is reacting well to them. He had a doctor appt. with the doctor who helps us keep him on track nutritionally. He's having a great last few days because my dad from Wisconsin is here visiting. He's camping out in my front yard. Some kids have been sleeping out there in the camper too. It gets a little cold at night but they love it. I'm not sure how I feel about them out there, this morning they were confused as to the time and were brushing their teeth at 6:30 a.m. I am not an early morning person.
We went to the dentist yesterday, 8 of us had cleanings! It was two years since we were there last. How many cavities could 8 people have........drum roll please........2! They are both in one child too, meaning 7 of us were free and clear:) They were in back teeth where this child isn't flossing well. Unfortunately for me I have two teeth with cracks in them. He asked me if they were bothering me and right that moment they were not but as soon as I ate something, whoa, pain! I now realize it is my teeth causing my jaw to ache and my head to hurt each day. Oh, bother, as Winnie the Pooh would say.
Our van is going under tomorrow. We decided to get it looked at to figure the problem out. Kevin just got the septic system fixed that was overflowing since last November and then the sprayer engine died, right in the process of killing my millions of dandelions. Life is designed right now to make sure we have not one penny to our name!!! Worse than not one penny, being in the hole a lot of pennies! Again, it feels like that roller coaster ride I sometimes refer to and how I want off. I'm learning to lean into the curves a little and it's not so tumultuous as it once was. I don't even feel a little emotional as I write this and that is progress! I know we are not going through some extraordinary trial that seems to only have hit our family. Thankfully the Lord is leading us through and we can find peace in it all:) So, smile and think of us if you are having a bad day because we're probably having a worse one!!!!! :) JK! (just kidding)
