Kamryn had her last four baby teeth pulled yesterday. That makes twelve pulled teeth in four months!! I felt horrible for her, but she was tough as always. The teeth were in all four quadrants of her mouth, so her entire mouth and tongue were numb for hours. I kept her drugged up on Advil and made her some yummy smoothies, and she is feeling great today.
I am amazed at how quickly her two front teeth straighted out.. six weeks and they were lined up. The waiting continues for her permanent teeth to grow in so we can get brackets on and pull her teeth together. She is so excited to be rid of her baby teeth for good!
We looked up Kam's grades today and once again, she aced her classes. This girl is in all the Advanced Placement program and only gets 97% and higher. She has never dropped below her baseline and we are so proud of her. So far, school has come easy to her and we are so grateful. School was not nearly as easy for me. I was totally social and had a great time, but my grades were never stellar. We are excited to celebrate her academic success at this years Golden Scholar night in May. Yay Kam!! I still can't believe she only has nine more weeks of Elementary school.
Owen's energy levels continue to be insane! Today he insisted on walking through Costco. I had his oxygen tank in the cart and he just stayed close so he had enough tubing. He walked until he was blue and winded.. and then he kept walking. I asked him a million times if he needed a break and he just kept on walking. I was amazed!! As you can imagine, he always draws a crowd and a million older couples were giving him high fives as he walked around. I guess you don't see a little guy on oxygen everyday with blue lips and a signature swagger. We also go to Costco way to often because all the employees know and love my kids. When we finally left with an overflowing cart he stopped and said.. "wow.. I'm really tired.. can you hold me and I think it's time for a nap!"
So proud of him!!!
The only downside since his cath, is that his GI system is out of whack due to anesthesia. It is common for him to have lots of puking episodes and it takes a while to get his volume tolerance back up. After I gave him his night meds last night, he sat up in bed and puked up pretty violently. When he was done he laid down and said "I love you Mom". He has the sweetest heart and I hate that he has to go through so much.
I have seen this Bunny Bait on pinterest and I knew Owen would LOVE it! All of his favorites in a bowl.. Popcorn, M&Ms, Pretzels and sprinkles drizzled in white chocolate. It's a shame that he hated it and that I will have to finish it off all by myself. Or, I'll just save myself the million calories and send it off to work with Daddy tomorrow.
I haven't heard from Stanford yet with results from their cardiac conference on Owen. I figured I'll give them a call next week. I have plenty of questions to ask. I'll do a more detailed post on Owen's cardiac status next week after I talk with Stock.
Our weekend plans... Hunger Games, Heart Moms Night Out, Playdate with friends, and (hopefully) moving Owen into his bedroom.
