Good reports

Lex went back for her check up today and all is well.  She still has a tender spot, but Dr said everything was healing just fine.  Mykhal is starting to go without the splint some now so his arm is doing better.  We have a play day tomorrow and we are all looking forward to it.....except for Lex since she is working but she is looking forward to that!  It's been a busy day of errands and in the heat after yesterday's sun exposure we have all tuckered out.  Think it might need to be an early bed night!

Post-Op

Lex did fine in her wisdom teeth removal this morning.  She is resting on the couch with ice on her cheeks.  Her tummy is a bit upset, but maybe after a nap she will feel a bit better.  The numbness is so much that she cannot swallow easily right now.  That will improve with time also.  Her boyfriend wanted to go with us this morning so he could help her get in and out of the car.  He is a sweetie.  Once we got home he left so that she could rest.  Once she is able to swallow we will get some pain meds down her.  For now I'm just glad she can rest some.

ER visit

So yesterday afternoon Mykhal was out working with the neighbor's horse again and suddenly comes blasting through the door holding his left wrist.  (by the way he's left handed)  So I get the ice and start making phone calls.  We finally get clearance to go to the ER and Russ heads to the hospital as well.  He didn't get to work out at the gym like he had hoped to yesterday.  We were very pleasantly surprised at how quickly things moved for us at the ER and we were there only about an hour.  Xrays revealed no broken bones much to our surprise!  So they said it was just a bad sprain and put a splinted brace on Mykhal that he needs to wear for the next 10 days or so.  They gave him Tylenol 3 at the hospital and then a prescription for it too.  He said it just barely took the edge off the pain, but he was eventually able to get a little bit of sleep last night.  This morning his pain level is much less and he has been helping out as much as possible with things I've been working on like clearing the baby things out of the side room and getting our outdoor living space set up.  Everything is really beginning to look nice!  I am thankful he is feeling up to helping!!
