Short Field Trip

Jonathon and I went a little field trip the other day.  We went to the Fire Department.  

While we were there I had Jonathon's car seat safety checked.  I was pretty sure we had it in the vehicle correctly and had him in it correctly but I just wanted to make sure.  Especially now that Andrew is driving us around sometimes for Drivers Training.

And yes the car seat was in the vehicle correctly.  And Jonathon was belted in securely.  I have my seat fastened with the latch hook system.  But I could never figure out the latch hook for the back of the seat and the fireman helped me out with that. So now he is super secure.

I had a few questions answered about my other 2 trucks that are much older.  

And then Jonathon got to get a couple of pictures with the fire truck.

 

Overdue Update

Lots going on lately and most important my desktop is slowly dying off and that is one of the main reasons why I have not been keeping up on my blog lately.  I started using my cell phone, but I really haven't taken the time lately. Sorry to all my readers.

Dental procedure went well for us.  We arrived at the hospital at 6a.m.  They had Jonathon ready to go back by 7:30a.m. Daddy went along with him until he fell asleep.  I wish I could have been there for him, but I just can't do that.  Thank you daddy.  We were able to watch a board in the waiting room that showed us exactly what was going on from pre op to surgery to recovery.  That was a nice addition that the hospital just added last year.

Jonathon was back in recovery around 8:35a.m. He had a little trouble with the anesthesia so they gave him a shot in his i.v. to feel better and we just need to let anyone know that he is allergic from now on and they will give him something before he wakes up and then he won't experience the nausea anymore.  We were home by noon.  He rested most of the day and I kept him home one extra day and let him go back to school on April 14th.

He had 4 fillings in between his front 4 teeth. Dr. Curt fixed his teeth so they know have little gaps in between where before they didn't and that is how the cavities came about.  Had some xrays taken and then cleaned his teeth.  And he is good to go.  We go back in 6 months to see Dr. Curt.

Eye patch is not going well at all.  I don't use the sticky ones anymore.  They were really sticking to his face and leaving marks and making him cry when I took them off. So we are using the cloth patch over his glasses but he really hates it and won't leave his glasses on.  I end up putting him in the kitchen chair or on the couch and have to literally sit with him for 2 hrs.  P.I.T.A.  Gotta do what you gotta do!

Daddy started a new job on April 13th.  He has better pay, better hours.  He know gets home at 3p.m. instead of 4:30-5p.m.  It's hard to get used too, but it's nice to have him around.  After 90 days we will have health insurance again and we can cancel the health insurance that we had to get on our own. $500.00 a month is killing us financially.  And he used to work at this company a long time ago (20yrs) and after 90 days they are giving him his time back(5yrs and vacation pay)  that will be nice.

Daddy got a new truck.  Our 95 Ford was about done.  We found a 99 Dodge 1500 2 wheel drive. It's nice and has a back seat so the whole family can go!  All we had to do was put new plugs and wires in it and she runs like a champ.  Cost us $1,000.00.

And my van is having issues again.  need front end work done.  We will start that soon.

Here is a picture to share.  Update more later....gotta run for now.

Before surgery

Going home after surgery

Dental Procedure Scheduled

Jonathon has been taking prescription Claritin for a few days last week and then switched over to the Zpac.  Finished up his meds this morning.

Spoke with the hospital early this afternoon and let them know what has been going on.  We are still scheduled for tomorrow morning.  They will check him over before his procedure and if they think he is not healthy enough they will cancel.  I think he is doing great and we won't be cancelled.

We have to be at Childrens of Detroit at 6 a.m. for admitting.  which means Gilbert and I will have to get up around 4 a.m.  We will need to leave our house around 5 a.m.

Jonathon will be getting xrays taken, some cavities filled and then a cleaning.
Please keep him in your prayers that all goes well.

Which also means those teenagers have to get up on their own!!!! Hmmmm......wonder if they can do it........

Well I am glad tomorrow is finally coming and I will be glad when it's all done!

Here is a couple of pictures from yesterday!  Can't wait to get back outside.

Gorgeous day

Our weather was beautiful this afternoon.  Our temps got up to 81! And I know it won't be that nice tomorrow but we really enjoyed today.
We pulled out some of Jonathon's toys and he had a blast outside.  He went out at 3pm and I had to drag him in at 6pm for dinner.  Of course he was very sad.
I can't wait until we can go out everyday!
2 days to dental procedure.....


I have been blogging from my cell phone last couple of days and I guess I cannot upload pictures from my phone because they come out sideways.
