Violet is having a root canal and two large cavities filled tomorrow. The dentist is going to fix them while she is under anaesthesia at St. Vincent Carmel. He thought it would be too traumatic to fix them in three separate appts. The dentist was shocked at how quickly she developed 3 major cavities. He thinks it is related to her asthma medication making her saliva more acidic. He said her home care looked great so I let myself off the hook a little.
Nate is feeling a little better. He is not supposed to use his left arm and does a pretty good job restricting activity. He is still pretty sore. He will wear the sling for about 6 weeks.
We had some bad urology news yesterday. Anara has some giant stones in her bladder. Dr. Kaefer has to make a 2 inch incision and pull the stones out with his finger. She will have this surgery January 23rd and will have a short hospital stay. Unfortunately we will be getting the suprapubic tube back temporarily. I was pretty disappointed to hear this even though it's just a little procedure.
Edison is gaining weight and doing well. He is still a little fussy and seems uncomfortable. I think it might be gas. If not gas then the pediatrician thinks maybe reflux - who knows. He has stopped turning his head to the right and we are trying to work with him on this. He weighed 11 lbs on Monday.
Something died in our bathroom. Seriously, our bathroom smells awful and I cannot locate the source. We are pretty sure it's a dead mouse or bird but we can't find it so I guess we just wait for it to decompose past the stinky stage. It's pretty nasty.

You guys have a lot going on! Will pray for quick recovery times for everyone.
The smell of rotting rodent...yuck! I hope it doesn't linger too long. Until then, light up all of your tarts & candles.
I think that it was just Nate in the bathroom! I've heard of a ton of babies being diagnosed with reflux lately. Poor little guy. Hopefully any medicine that they give you for Edison will help.
