I took Eli to the dentist (Growing Smiles) last week. Oh the guilt of it all...I knew it would be bad...but actually the news wasn't as bad as I had expected. Anyway, he will need 2 crowns and 2 fillings and will need to be put under for the procedure...which was expected. They scheduled us for Aug 31, but said there would probably be cancels so we would get in sooner. I have been reading that dental issues causes inflamation in the body and that inflamation in the body causes your brain to not work right. So, even though Aug 31 is not ideal we at least have it scheduled and I have been hopeful that we would get a call for an earlier date. Today they called...they can most likely get Eli in on May 4 at 7AM (which is great cause he doesn't have to go all day without eating or drinking)...that is 4.5 months sooner!!!! I just can't help but be excited that this dental work might really help Eli. The dental assistant told me that there have been many children with special needs that show significant improvement almost immediately after getting their dental work completed. I should know for sure by Monday if May 4 is our date! Please be in prayer about this. Eli doesn't act like he is in pain, but there must be at least a degree of pain associated with his teeth. I just know this is orchestrated by God and thank him for the hope.
Really excited about Mallory Claire...she is just beautiful. I can't wait to meet her...hope I can wait until July! Aunt Susie's post on facebook make me tear up...she is Grams now!
So...the blood test results are back. I have high cholesterol...267. Goes to show you...eating well doesn't necessarily keep you out of the bad blood reports! My first response was to jump on the internet. Not focused on what I shouldn't eat, just focused on what I should eat AND how exercise is no longer optional! Taking JoLynn's lead...must do something active for 30 minutes every day!!! Blake and I are heading into Baldwin to walk this evening....maybe even do some steps at Baker too. I hope the scale reflects my efforts quickly...I need some instant gratification.
Praising God for the victory even while working toward it!!! Mold me and make me Lord.
