I’ve never gone blogless for so long before. At least I don’t think I have. We’ve had a lot going on and much of it revolved around doctor appointments and surgeries. Don’t worry, the kids are fine. Mark and I are falling apart though. haha
First, I had surgery on my finger (9/26). Maybe you noticed for the last two years I had a strange bump on my right ring finger? I finally had that removed and wore a bandage over the 6 stitches for two weeks.
A few days before that I went in for a normal teeth cleaning (9/21). That led to 4 or so weeks of appointments. Each week, they upgraded (down-graded?) my tooth and what it needed. I went from filling & fixing a crack to needing a crown to needing a root canal (which I had half of one) to needing a tooth extraction. It was not fun!
Mark and Max experienced colds awhile back. One night in particular was a rough cough night for Mark and he woke up the next morning convinced he had a hernia. Well, a trip to the ER proved him right! He didn’t need emergency surgery but went in the next week (10/26) for out patient surgery. For some reason, we both thought it was a simple out patient procedure and he would be back to work the next day. Oh how we were wrong! He was basically on bed rest for an entire week and ordered by his doctor not to lift over 10lbs for 4 weeks. It has been quite a recovery process.
And poor Raelyn has gone a few rounds with a bad diaper rash. When I say bad, I mean BAD. Red, bumpy, raw skin. I think we finally (after 2.5 weeks) have it under control.
And that, my friends, is why you haven’t seen me around these parts lately. I have some catching up to do so please stay tuned!
