The Tooth that caused it all …

I thought I’d give everyone an update on Caden and the dentist.  As you may know we had to have Caden’s tooth pulled.  We then had a spacer made that day BEFORE the tooth was filled (they cast it).

We then went back the 2 weeks later I was told was crucial that it had to be then.  We show up WAIT 45 minutes to be brought back to be told oh the spacer is not here do to the snow the week before!  So we leave which isn’t helping Caden’s fear of the dentist.  We then get a call the following week the I NEED to bring him back the following day!  I rearrange my day of work yet AGAIN for them.  THEN a few hours before the appointment they call and say they need us to come in EARLY due to oh yes get this “Caden’s Behavior last time”.  HELLO he is 4 and scared you pulled said tooth(pictured above) out of his head.  Was is necessary to say this to his mom no!  So we go early to get in and 4 ladies come in the room which of course scares Caden then they all bend over and start telling him to calm down.  The waterworks begin and then the No’s start.  Then the ladies of course start telling him to calm down etc.  So of course I can’t take any more of this and tell him we have to go.  They tell us to come back again. 

So yesterday I let Rick and my dad take him.  Rick said the appointment went better we had been practicing at home with a plastic mirror in his mouth so he was prepared what she was looking in there for.  She said she didn’t want to freak him out anymore then he already is so they didn’t put in the space just going to watch it.  They cleaned and gave him a fluoride treatment and looked and no cavities!  We have to go back in 2 weeks for another fluoride treatment.

We are thankfully are done with this spacer for now, and this last appointment will be the LAST time I go to this clinic.  A friend gave me a referral to an affordable that I can pay cash and when we get dental insurance.  Thank you again for all the love and support!

We literally are Pulling Teeth :(

Pulling teeth is one of my favorite go to frazes when I call people for work and I’m trying to confirm and gather their information.  But today is a different type of pulling teeth.  2 weeks ago Caden couldn’t sleep and was complaining about his mouth.  Being the Amazing Super Mom that I am just thought he was being the little drama queen he always is.  Then when we didn’t sleep at all one wink I looked in his mouth to find that he back molar was cracked … UGH.

Called a local dentist to see if we could get him in.  When Rick changed jobs we lost our insurance so it was all out of pocket, thankfully this place let’s you make payments!  So we went in for a quick x-ray and a prescription for an antibiotic.  Along with an appointment to come back in two weeks for an extraction. YUP not looking forward to that bill! So today is the day for the extraction.  Caden is very scared and mama is too.  Wish us luck tomorrow!

He was all happy last time, plus got to play brothers DS!

Of Course when dentist came in it was all tears .

Happy Friday the 13th Everyone!  Stay away from black cats & walking under ladders.  I think I have had my far share of good and bad luck, I’ll be trying to find me a four leaf clover .. lol.

Oh My A Day I'm having

Sorry not going to be around much today, it's a day of appointments!

I started work @ 5am, finished up around 7:30am to head to my 8:15 apt. You know after I got dressed, got Caden changed and Dressed too. Don't want to put to much on daddy! Try to walk out the door. Oh crap forgot to make Cole's lunch! Crap, run back in throw that together and oh yeah need to lay out Cole's clothes to because again too much for hubs in the am to deal with! LOL

Got to my appointment 5 minutes to spare! Then I sit and wait for 35 minutes!!!! Ok people I've worked in a doctors office for 7 years I know the drill people before you run late and everyone else is late, it's not always the docs fault. Well I've learned that you sch the 1st appointment. So when 2 people after me walk in and get taken right back, yup a little perturbed!

So as most you know I was laid off but now work from home for a different (WONDERFUL) company! So my dual insurance runs out tomorrow. So I scheduled an IUD for today, because I'm not planning any more kids and hello $25 a month for B/C is a lot! So I go in we talk we choose the 5 year one. Well after 2 failed attempts and 2 of the IUD's wasted (I'm sure my insurance will be calling me). She very sweetly tells me that my anatomy is not loving the IUD. Yup (TMI Moment) my uterus is is not positioned right. All I heard was after two kids is not right! Thankfully she is the sweetest doc ever! She called around and found another office that can do an implant in my arm that last 3 years! So not exactly what I need but it will do!

Then I run to the bank being the blonde I am I think ok transfer to checking and then pull out money. So what happens she pulls out all the savings and then gives me money from checking too. Thankfully I notice when I started to leave the parking lot. Go back redeposit the money that wasn't suppose to come out. Lord my account is going to be flagged I just know it!

Then go pay the past due property taxes before the end of the day and another amount will be added on! CRAP never trust a mortgage company that tells you at the signing oh yeah you do know your property taxes and insurance aren't included! WTF??? Try pulling together a grand every 6 months, yes I know I could save each month but really who's life is that perfect?

So after I go to the doctor this afternoon guess where I get to go! Oh yeah you know it the dentist, because that I won't have covered after tomorrow until Rick's work dental kicks in. And guess what I busted out a temporary fillng! So Monday I went there for an apt waited in the lobby 45 minutes before they came over to appologize, they take me back and wait another 20 minutes to talk to the doctor who gives me options of filling it and a LOT's of money or pull it. Oh crap it's the back tooth pull it. Well it's going to be another 1 to 2 hours!!!! REALLY crap, ok sch me for Friday! So today is the day for the tooth to be pulled.

Yeah 2 doctor visits, giving my blood to the property tax people and oh yeah add in the dentist! Are you kidding me???? So there it is girls my day! Be back hopefully tonight since I won't be able to talk maybe I can type?
