As told by Kat

It’s Friday, Baby!

// May 29th, 2009 // Kat, Rachel

Life isn’t going to slow down anytime soon.  Rather than send Rachel to Ophthalmologist #3, I let her go to the musical that the High School kids are putting on.  I just don’t want to put her through anymore tests until we reach someone that can actually perform the ERG.

One of my teeth is infected again and I wound up at the dentist yesterday with ALL 4 of my children in tow.  Imagine having a dental examination and xrays while you have a 9, 5, 3 and 2 year with you.  Seriously.  The day before I had the four of them for cleanings and that was bad enough.  I ended up getting a script for antibiotics as we are already working on the treatment plan and will extract the problem teeth next month.  All this to say that while I am in the Dentist’s chair, the phone rings and it was Children’s Hospital letting me know that Rachel has just been set-up with an appointment with a Geneticist next Thursday!!!!!!!!!  Very excited.

I’m not so excited about the fact that John is having surgery on Thursday and all the stress that comes with tight scheduling.  I’m glad that he is having his nose and uvula taken care of but wish that it were on a different day.  We will make it work.

This weekend I promised Rachel a Star Wars marathon.  She’ll watch 1, 2, 3 on Saturday and 4, 5, 6 on Sunday.  I need to figure out what room to have it in because of the light factor and I must come up with some snacks.

These kids are going to bed early tonight because Mommy needs a mental break.  Hopefully my husband will come home soon (he is at a service call).
