Update on Constance

This last Monday we had her mouth fixed. It was a traumatic experience for all 3 of us. We were waiting for her turn, when they come and tell me to hold her on my lap facing sideways. The dental assistant then distracts Constance with little toys she could pick out of and take home with her. As she is looking at them the Anesthesiologist gives her a tranquiliser in the arm. She cried for like 5 seconds before it starts to kick in. Then I watch as my little girl is carried into the dental chair. She looked so lifeless. It made me cry. Then about an hour later they come and get us to be with her while they start to wake her up. They then told me she would have double vision for a while, and might start throwing up (which she did on Cory as he was caring her to the car) The rest of the day was hard. She was half out of it for a few hours and crying after that (she didn't understand why her mouth was numb and did not understand the sensation of a numb mouth.) and her gums were really sensitive for a couple days after. (still are a little)

We had a nice Christmas, I will post about that another day when I get our pictures developed. I am just SO thankful that her mouth is fixed. That her infection is gone. And for the Merry Christmas that she had.

I love Mr. Beans Christmas I think it is so HILARIOUS so I just had to add him for you all to enjoy! Merry Christmas!

Thankful

Last night Constances mouth was really bothering her, to the point that she was crying nonstop and pointing to her teeth. I felt hopeless, It breaks my heart to see my little one hurting. We didn't know our home teachers phone numbers, (our ward directory is not up to date) but I was going through old handouts from church and managed to stumble onto my old visiting teachers phone number and her husband is our home teacher, so we called them and were able to have them come and give Constance a Blessing, she sat really still and was so good while they gave her, her blessing. After you could tell that she was feeling allot better. The spirit was so strong in our apartment after, it was like a warm blanket and it gave us all a hug. That night when I put her to bed she had a hard night at first, crying every 5 min or so. until about midnight when I surrendered and took a pillow and blanket to sleep in her room by her. After that she slept peacefully. and today she still is in pain, but she seems allot happier and stronger. She is more eager to still play today and to still get a few laughs out. And this morning I was so proud of her she ate 1 1/2 pancakes! (5 inch) and she did not fight as much today when I gave her the antibiotic, and pain killers. I am so grateful for Priesthood Blessings and the comfort and healing powers that they hold.

And the numer one Wall E fan goes to....

CONSTANCE!!

yesterday I purchased Wall E for Constance and she has watched it four times in the last 24 hours. I felt bad for her, she has not been feeling well. She has an infection in her mouth, that is making her have a fever and making her gums swell. So its hard for her to eat anything. I just hope that the antibiotic that we started her on yesterday will get into her system and fight hard. I don't want her being in pain on Christmas. I just wish we could have gotten all her dental work done before Christmas. But I'm just glad its getting done so she can be back to her bubbly self. As the 29Th is getting closer and closer I am getting nervous for her. I don't know how she will react to them giving her an IV to sedate her. I just want my little girl to be healthy and happy.

Plumbing Problems

Aaarrgh! Our apartment is REALLY old, and along with that comes crappy plumbing. Granted out of all our apartments I have enjoyed living here the best over all. I am just so tired of all the plumbing problems we are having. I cant tell you all the times our Tub has just decided not to drain, or the sink or the DISH WASHER!!, last night before I went to bed I put a load in the dishwasher since it is so old it takes 4 hours to do a cycle! but I woke up this morning expecting to be able to put the dishes away. WRONG WRONG WRONG! so I am fed up with it. I give up. I am throwing in the white towel. I will get all the dishes clean and then I am stocking up on paper plates until we move out of here.

and our vacuum has decided not to work either!, It has not worked for a while now, so I have been having to use our hand vacuum while crawling everywhere. thank goodness I have a hand one!

*Dont know really what to call this post*

Constance is getting really excited for Christmas to come. Every morning she gets so excited to open one of the doors on her advent calender. She keeps trying to convince me to let her open all of the doors so Santa will get here sooner. But the closer Christmas get here the more Antsy and scared I am getting. you see we are having Constance sedated for a big dental appointment. we have tried several times taking her to a couple different dentists and she wont let them even open her mouth. but she has several cavities that need to be taken care of. so on the 29Th she is getting them all fixed. The butterflies are already in my stomach. I just want the whole thing over with. I am glad she is getting her mouth fixed, I just hate the thought that she will be in pain after the fact.

TWILIGHT

So a couple of weeks ago I started reading the TwiLight series, and all I can say is WOW! I LOVE LOVE LOVE them, they are the best books I have read in a long time. I am in the middle of the 3rd book right now, and I think Constance likes the story line as well, she'll always ask me to read it out loud to her. Its kinda cute.
