Ethen and Kolby's science project

Trichelle and Colton, Sadies

Our sweet little Kollen came to visit. Aunt Trichelle hauled him around for a while, in this front pack. He loved it!

This week has been so incredibly busy. I thought it would slow down after Halloween. Since I have already been gone alot this week, I lined Craig up to take Tracy to St. George for his epidural surgical procedure. I was so proud of myself. I even sat down to read with the little kids feeling so lucky that I was going to get to stay home. Then, it hit. Nathen was reading his memorized books to me, when he started talking weird, and I noticed the entire side of his cheek was swollen. I knew then and there, my day was over.

I had to rush and get ready as the dentist office did have one cancellation within an hour and a half. That gave me 30 minutes to get ready to leave and be out the door. WA.

Austen came down to watch the little kids, and off Nate and I went to Cedar. Craig and Tracy on their way to St. George for his appointment.

Nathen ended up with an abscess under his tooth, so they pulled the whole molar. Needless to say for a 5 year old, that was hard on him.

I am so glad I had Craig lined up for Tracy. They needed a little father-son bonding time.

The shot went ok, but Tracy also didn't handle it as well as it could have been, and was very hard to deal with after the whole ordeal. I am sure it was the medicine and stuff. I ended up staying in Cedar with my friend for a little bit. And I got texts of how horrible things were going at home. Oh my.

Tracy doesn't remember it. So I am not sure what happened there.

Today, after going to the science fair, he went to his office for a few hours. But the pain is so intense, he has been in bed all day and had to cancel therapy. He is still struggling pretty badly tonight with pain, but is easy to deal with. Just sad to watch him suffer so much in pain. Usually it only lasts up to a week. I hope only a few days this time. But only time will tell. He seems so blah tonight. He is just hurting so bad. I can only watch and feel bad. There is nothing much else I can do other than try to make him comfortable, and add extra pain meds.

Tonight is Sadie-Hawkins. So Trichelle has kind of been gone for the afternoon and having a blast.

Our busy days in the neighborhood continue! Parent-teacher conferences I am trying to make up, and housework, and just about everything else under the sun.

But we really are doing quite well considering the weekly drama.

WE are just hoping and praying that Tracy's pain will soon subside and he will be back in the swing of life asap!

He was so happy to see baby Kollen when Austen and Kayla brought him down today. He is so totally in love with his grandson! (well, we all fight for his chubby little cheeks)

Every time I move him, he cringes in pain. He is still pretty sore tonight, so hopefully things will go better than last night, and today.
