This is the Stuff

"In the middle of my little mess, I forget how big I'm blessed."

We started 2011 with a few little issues. Thank goodness they were "little" issues. Macy doesn't handle change well. And, well....there has been lots of change in her world! We went to see the gastro specialist. I won't even begin to try to spell the medical term for that! He changed up her meds for tummy issues and she seems to be feeling tons better.

I had a wisdom tooth show up out of nowhere over the Christmas break that was badly infected and causing tremendous pain. On Friday I got it taken out. The IV sedation had me so worked up, I thought I would be hospitalized because of my blood pressure! I was so nervous! I don't know why, after 3 c-sections, you would think I would be a pro at IV sedation. I think it was because they were going to be working on my teeth and I wouldn't be able to see what was going on.

Tadd got a good laugh at me as we went to walmart to get my pain meds filled and I told him I just needed to spit. I didn't want to leave my bloody gauze in the parking lot for fear that someone might see it and get sick, but I had no problem with leaning out the door and hawking non-existant lugies. He tried to tell me I had nothing to spit and finally pulled me back into the car. Thank goodness I don't remember this. Then I tried to bribe him into letting me eat Taco Villa promising we wouldn't tell anyone he let me eat solid foods. Anyways, weren't refried beans consider kind of a liquid? I'm glad I could provide his great entertainment Friday.

My fantastic Mama came and took care of me this weekend. It was so nice to sit and do nothing while she and Tadd took care of kids, meals, and laundry. I am so blessed. This is the stuff that makes me realize how great God takes care of me.
