So we are bad…....Kamden got a cavity, a deep cavity….to the point that they wanted to do a root canal and then crown the tooth. (yeah baby teeth, seems silly)
Jason took him to our family dentist here in Menomonie and she drilled it out and put a temporary filling on it. I guess going into the root was out of her comfort level so she referred us to a pediatric dentist in Eau Claire to complete it.
We had that appointment on Monday. Jason had warned me that Kamden was a hoot on laughing gas. As opposed to relaxing him, it made him jittery and silly. Oh was he right!!!
Right before they turned the gas on to get started, I had to go potty. (way out in the hallway) So I just said to Kamden “mom is going to run to the bathroom but I will be right back, okay?” He was like sure, fine, whatever. I get back and the dentist had just stepped over to say Hi to Kamden and turn on the laughing gas (I guess only the dentist can physically push the button to turn it on). It was almost instantaneous that he started. Imagine this conversation with Kamden talking as loud as he possible could!!!
Kamden: Mom did you go to the bathroom?
Me: Yes, Kamden I did.
Kamden: Mom did you go poop, or did you go pee?
Me: Kamden I went pee now lay there and quit moving. (trying to just get him to hush!)
Kamden: You just went pee cause you didn’t have to go poop?
Me: Yes Kamden I only had to pee, now be quiet. (I was afraid of what he would say next)
Kamden: I just love you mom
Yeah he went from the potty story to “I just love you” then he got all sappy and couldn’t tell me he loved me enough. Then he kept telling the dentist he was going to get some of that stuff for his house cause it was so good. He was so funny and didn’t want to shut up…..which made it a little more of a challenge for them to work on his mouth.
He came through it like a pro. I was so proud of him. The dentist was great, working so quickly but always talking to Kamden to keep his attention on other things.
My promise was that we would go to Action City afterwards. I really didn’t think he would be up to it, so I tried to convince him to wait for another day, but he would have none of that. We went and had a great time. (FYI-if you sign up for their fun license, you get $25 free each month, it’s been kinda nice to go play on their money)
He is now the proud owner of a “silver tooth”. We tried to get a picture but it’s the back molar and too difficult to get at.

Crazy Busy....
Its November already?!?!?
There is end in sight.
Clinicals, which I have been doing every Monday and Wednesday at Sacred Heart, are almost over! Yah. I have really enjoyed being there, such a rewarding job, but reality it’s hard to donate two days a week of free labor and then try to still get your normal 40 hour work week in.
Other happenings---Halloween came and went. Kamden was a bat. Kahne was a kitty, although most thought he was a bear. I guess he was just in a big fuzzy suit and you couldn’t really tell what he was. We had such a warm night to go trick or treating and of course the boys had way too much fun! In reality we could have skipped the whole Halloween night; by the time Halloween got here we had more candy than we knew what to do with. Menomonie puts on a “fall-o-ween” downtown where the kids get to play games for candy, and trick or treat at the downtown business. One of nursing homes in town also had trick or treating and the boys made out great there too. I have a weakness for candy so I wish it would all just disappear!
My birthday came and went. I spent the night at the hospital with my friend Amy in labor. She couldn’t pop little Sophia out till 543 the next morning but she almost made her grand entrance on my birthday. It was a long, long night and although I was beyond tired, it was worth it! She suffered from back labor so I spent almost the entire time rubbing/putting pressure on her back. Rubbing someone’s back from 5 in the afternoon till 5 in the morning, is rough on the hands. Amy says I had the easy part though. Mom and baby are exhausted but doing great!
Jason had surgery the following day. (Yeah I didn’t really get to even leave the hospital) He had his tonsils removed. He was in lots of pain but said he wasn’t immobile so he went hunting the next day. The thing they said about get lots of rest….. he doesn’t think that applies to him. He had a reaction to the pain meds they put him on and was itching all over. He thought that was more unbearable than the throat pain so he stopped the pain med and has been tolerating it with only ibuprofen. He still isn’t talking much, not that he did a ton before, I actually think he might be liking that part.
I added just a few photos. We just don't take as many as we should.....again its that time thing and being busy.
It will get better!
