She's Back!

After much pain for a week, Brenda's pediatric dentist Dr. Albrect was able to call up Dr. Plumb to do a root canal. Dr. Plumb gladly scheduled us into his day and performed root canal therapy on her tooth. It was infected and she was in lots of pain. The roots of her tooth are actually still growing in so he treated the infection with medication then "hollowed" out the top of her tooth and sealed it off by mixing a making a composite for her tooth. Looks like a new tooth even though it is dead. We are hoping that she will not have to have anymore work done on her tooth in the future. 

As soon as she was done at the dentist she was a new person! As she was coming out of her "numbness" her eyes became bright and clear and she became her 'ole bouncy self! So glad she is not in pain anymore! So grateful to Dr. Plumb for staying longer in his day and performing the root canal therapy for her. His assistants were outstanding and very compassionate also! We thank them!

Gratitude

All day today I have been thinking about what I am grateful for. For me it usually takes someone else's plight to help me realize everything that I have to be grateful for. My Uncle Art died a few of days ago, my good friend Karleen's husband's father passed away, one of my fellow bloggers has had a few trials in their family's lives you can go here to read, a little 10 year old girl at my daughter's school has cancer (her blog is here), one of the other vendors in our line of work who is going through a nasty divorce was just told that his 60k a year job is being dissolved and this is just to name a few.

Things I am grateful for:

• An awesome husband who is patient
• Awesome daughter
• Time with Cooper
• A job to support our family
• A roof over our head
• Our health
• The Gospel

And the list goes on and on......

My husband is really good about feeling grateful and sometimes I need a quick sift in the butt pants to be reminded.
