Triple Dentist Visit and a Funeral & Libby is in the Hospital

Yep, that was my day. This morning, I took all three of the big kids to the dentist. The middle two have never been to the dentist!!!! I am an awful mom, I know. I have dental phobia! Seriously, I don't have fond memories of the dentist and I honestly hate going. The kids were awesome. We got a great report of no cavities for anyone and no orthodontics for Savannah. Blayne was nervous, but did great in the dental chair and with x-rays. The room was a triple room, so all three kids were worked on at the same time. The hygienists (two worked on them at a time) were sweet and kept saying they couldn't believe that Blayne and Whitney had never been to the dentist, because of how well they did. They all got new cool toothbrushes, toothpaste and a cool toy each. I got to pay $680!!!!! ouch. I have to remind myself that it is okay...we chose to stay here in at this job with our poor medical benefits! So, I guess we will be saving up for our July visit.

This morning, I got a text page from Gracie telling me that she and Libby were headed to Dallas to he ER. Libby is having breathing issues. Her lips are blue and she slept a lot yesterday. My girls were over there yesterday playing with Camden and Libby and Savannah commented on how much Libby was gagging and how hard she was breathing. I knew that it must have been bad for Savannah to notice. They have Lib on oxygen and they are doing a an echo of her heart. Gracie is just waiting for results. The boys have both been sick in the last week, so she might have some kind of respiratory bug going on. Gracie's last call to me was to tell me that they weren't going anywhere anytime soon.

This afternoon, I attended the funeral of a woman from my previous church. She was only 38 and died of an aneurysm. She leaves behind a husband and two boys. She worked with my kids in VBS this summer. She worked at a Tuesday Morning that I shop at regularly, and she was always really funny. My two worlds collided today, as the funeral was at my former church, but a lot of the attenders were from my current church. Kind of weird, but it was nice to see everyone.

So, it was a solemn day for me...a day of being grateful for good teeth, hopeful for Libby's quick recovery from illness or whatever is getting her down, and a day of celebrating the life of a sister in Christ.
