Our Thanksgiving was chaotic at best. I ended up having a tooth absess on Tuesday, taught classes all day in severe pain then that evening couldn't stand it anymore and ended up in the ER Tuesday night to Wednesday morning, was there 5 hours. They gave me penicillin and vicodin. Neither of those meds touched it, and I was in so much pain Wednesday morning that we had to call and get an appointment with an oral surgeon.
We got in and they pulled the tooth Wednesday, but the infection was so bad they sent me to the hospital to get IV meds. I was on out patient status, but had to go everyday over vacation to the hospital to get rocephin through the IV port that was left in my hand. So I had an apt. with the oral surgeon Thanksgiving morning, and also was at the hospital on Thanksgiving morning for IV meds-FUN!!! Not!!
The side of my face was swollen it looked like there was a baseball in my cheek. It distorted my face so much I didn't even look like myself. I was on high dose Amoxicillin, ibuprophen, and vicodin, and am still on those meds as we speak for another week. Have been to the surgeon 3 more times and go back again on Monday. Everything is looking good, and the swelling is gone, just that medicated tired right now. But all is better!! Thank goodness!! But that was pretty much our Thanksgiving!! I lived on milkshakes!!
We had Thanksgiving at Gary's parents house, with Uncle Steve and Aunt Beth, and cousins Noah, Owen & Sam. Along with Aunt Nancy and Uncle Tom, and Grandma & Grandpa Newton. Avery charmed everyone as she always does. Played with her cousins, and would go to everyone, she is such a social butterfly right now. It is so nice to see how much she has opened up.
We did get to wear our squeaky shoes from China on Thanksgiving. Avery now wears a size 3 and they fit. I don't think they are annoying, I think they are sweet, and plus I know where she is, and if I don't hear squeaks for awhile I know to go search for her-LOL!!
We've got our 2 Christmas trees up and the living rooms rearranged for this time of year to accommodate the trees. Avery has been good about the trees. We opted for getting shatterproof ornaments for the trees this year- good idea!! Plus we have all of the ornaments we have gotten for her over the last 3 years, and Gary and I have gotten eachother ornaments every year too!! I love putting the trees up, and having them on all day!
I did catch Avery taking off the silver balls and giving her teddy bear earrings one day-so cute!! Avery can say Santa, and elf. She can now say Teddy, and B-Bye. Her vocabulary is growing everyday.
I can't really express how wonderful it is to have her pitter pattering around the house. She is such a joy in our lives. She lights up our world!! She is such a loving, animated, and happy little girl. She amazes us each and everyday. Gary and I find ourselves just watching her all the time, and smiling at eachother in complete disbelief sometimes that she is actually here, and how much she is the perfect child for us.
We say all the time... how did we get so lucky!! We are blessed, oh so blessed!!The photos are from Thanksgiving. Enjoy!
