I’m hoping that after this weekend life will be improving.
On Wednesday night I looked over at The Princess and noticed that one of her front teeth was grayed. Yes, people, she also has a tooth issue. Then I looked across the table at The Prince and his face had a rash on it. Then I felt like crying. I definitely teared up a bit.
A few weeks ago Anya got a note home that she and another child had crashed together at daycare. She said her teeth hurt from the incident, so we just decided to monitor it and not bring her in. She seemed fine and only said they hurt maybe one other time. Well, in talking to her about it on Wednesday night she said they only hurt when she SUCKED HER THUMB. Well, she is a master thumb-sucker and knows we want her to kick the habit so she didn’t say anything. I’m afraid her thumb sucking may have made her tooth worse after the initial collision.
We are working with her to try to stop the sucking. At night she says, “her body wants her to suck her thumb.” I may attempt to start taping socks to her hands.
The dentist said she likely broke the blood vessels in the tooth. This allowed blood to pool in it, which turns the tooth gray from the iron. They can’t do anything about it so she will just have a gray tooth until it falls out. Great. At least I have Photoshop to make it white again! Of course, today one of her friends ran into her. 🙁
Then, in the further saga of Kailan he ran into another child on Thursday at daycare. There was blood in one of his lose side teeth, so I’m just waiting for that to fall out now. Three missing teeth is just lovely, isn’t it? The rash has thankfully gone away. He’s got a couple of insect (probably spider) bites on the back of his neck, so it may have been from that. We’ll just watch to make sure they don’t get infected.
Right now, I’m pretty sure I have a sinus infection since I’m on week 4 of a “cold”. Who has time for urgent care??
Yesterday, Brian had some skin stuff taken care off which resulted in some removals. Afterwards he decided that mowing the lawn would be a good idea and spent the remainder of the night trying to stop the bleeding. I’m surprised he didn’t pass out, but he is used to giving blood so I guess it didn’t affect him too much.
We are falling apart over here!

Anya’s birthday is on Sunday. Yes, on Mother’s Day we will be hosting a party and I will be cooking. As long as Brian does the clean-up it won’t be too bad. 😉 I still have to finish her birthday present and make her a birthday dress, so I will be busy tomorrow.
I hope all the Mother’s out there have a wonderful Mother’s Day!

Due to the above I have been seriously lax in visiting my bloggy friends, so I am very sorry. I’m hoping to catch back up next week. Sorry!
Girl I feel your pain. Danielle broke her arm 2 weeks ago.
Had it set twice are recasted at the doctor’s office and then had surgery 2 days ago to put a pin in it because it would not stay in place. What a couple weeks. Today she began throwing up her pain meds.
Lovely.
Thankfully I think Advil will be the drug of choice now instead of Codeine.
MOTHERHOOD.
Sometimes I wonder why we do it.
Maybe so we have something to blog about.
IN HIM…

Oh man! What a rough week! I hope that all of their teeth issues end up okay in the long run. Colby is sick again, but this time my hubby is too. I thought this was supposed to end with the arrival of warmer weather. Oh well. Here’s hoping for a great (but busy) Mother’s Day and a normal healthy week ahead! 🙂
Wow! hope you all get feeling better..
So very sorry. It’s rough to watch your kids go through painful things.
Though that is pretty darn amazing (and sneaky) of Anya to weigh the decision about telling you about her tooth!
I had a scare today when Itty Bit tumbled forward and split his gumline open on the desk. Lots of blood, yay for me (Miss Queasy Tummy).
Hope all tooth issues are healed up and terrific big teeth will be longer lasting! 🙂
Have a wonderful Mother’s Day… you’ve sure earned a break!
oh you poor thing ! i hate it when a whole bunch of bad stuff happens at once !! hopefully you are at the end of it …
jono got a gray tooth when he was 2 !!! the dentist said the same thing. nothing they could do. just wait for it to fall out. took 5 years ! it was one of his two front teeth too !! lovely. but like you said … photo editing ! thank goodness we have it !!! and really, in the whole scheme of things … a few years of a gray baby tooth really didn’t matter much !!
But you can’t get the rainbow without the storm.
It will get better soon, I’m almost sure of it. Hang in there, it all sounds just awful. I know Sunday will be a great day of celebration for the whole family.
Oh, Stacy! I hope you all have some time to recooperate this weekend! And you get to have some fun – especially on Sunday! Happy Birthday Anya! and Happy Mother’s Day to you Stacy.
((hugs))
O my goodness!!! I am so sorry that things are just continuing to kick you down.
Will be praying for you and your family today, Stacy…. so so sorry!
Really love your beautiful spring flowers tho… how beautiful!!
Goodness (((hugs to you!))) Sophia has had two bruised front teeth for a few months from a nasty fall – the gray does fade considerably after a while, but you can still see it a little. Hope things get better at your place and happy birthday to Anya!!! ?
Oh dear! You guys are having a rough time! I hope things get better soon~
Happy Mother’s Day to you too! Happy B-day to Anna!
Take Care,
Dawn 🙂
Oh Stacy! It’s just one thing after another for you…you NEED a break! If it’s any consolation, my little sister had the same thing happen with a grey tooth and there was no long term damage. I am crossing my fingers for a smooth, easy, care-free week for you!
I hope you had a great Mother’s Day!!
