I have been blessed

We finished appointment 6 of 6 this week. I am so over appointments. On Monday, we went to the dentist at 10. Dr. Trey in Fairhope was amazing. His office is very nice and he was very entertaining. Eli was not very cooperative at the dentist but he had no cavities and everything looked great! After the dentist we went out for sushi at my fav restaurant. It was delicious! I decided to bring him over to my parents to take a nap before our next appointment at 2:00 to get his tubes cleaned out. I realized my gas light was very low so I decided to stop at a gas station to fill up. (by the way my phone stopped charging and died at the dentist that morning) I tried to turn my car on and the battery died....and I had no phone... and I was at the most unsafe gas station in the area..... and the battery charger that Andrew bought me was dead.... A very nice guy pulled up and let me use his phone to call my dad and we were able to get my car jumped off. We missed nap time and headed to our 2:00 appointment. I really did not want to go back to this doctor because the wait time in there is INSANE for having a 3 year old to keep contained. We waited almost 2 hours to see the doctor. I was not a very happy camper and neither was Eli. No nap, long wait and scared of the Dr was not a good combo. The Dr started cleaning out his ear and Eli was screaming "THE DR IS HURTING MY EAR!!" It took 3 people to try to hold him down. I had never seen him like that. I broke into tears and told the Dr to stop. We went home and had a very early bedtime. After a rough Monday, the rest of the week went much better.

Thursday we had our therapy day. OT went very well. Eli practiced handwriting with all kinds of very neat activities. He did 45 minutes of ILS and did it very well! Speech was a different story. He did do his sounds better but he was not as cooperative as he had been the last few weeks.

Things are beginning to slow down and becoming a little more normal. Now that we are done with the 100,000,000 appointments, life seems a little more normal. Thankful to have Andrew and Eli both home this weekend to spend time with my boys!
