Overview

Things have been busy -- the kids didn't have school on Thursday or Friday.
Braden's had a cough for over a month -- no other symptoms.  It would start to get better, then come back.  Brian brought him in to see Dr B yesterday, and it's some kind of asthma that presents as a cough.  Honestly, I haven't even had time to google it, so I don't know what that means other than for now he's on a medication (Prednisone) for a few days to help.
After his appointment, I took the 4 kids and we went to the Lil & Ruby's physical therapy evaluations at the local hospital.  They haven't had evals for a while, and they don't qualify for PT at school, so I wanted to see how things were going.  No real surprises -- and I'll be able to order new inserts for Lil's shoes (they help give her very flat feet some arch support).  The PT thought she could get the insurance to cover a few visits for the girls so we could practice some things; walking up and down stairs without holding the railing, riding trikes - big, gross motor skills.

This morning, Karly had 2 wisdom teeth removed.  She's doing great!  She's not a complainer, so I've been making sure she takes her ibuprofen on schedule, and icing her cheek.  
It was funny to listen to her chatty on the laughing gas this morning (and with a lot of nervous energy).  I was in the waiting room, but I could hear her very well.  After the doctor gave her the shots, she told the tech, "For some reason, my mouth feels funny," which had me giggling. 
She really did well, though, and I'm proud of her -- she wanted to try it not fully sedated, and I had my concerns, but she was super.  Now I just have to constantly remind her she can't drink from a straw or eat crunchy food for the next week...
