Growing teeth

Natalie is home sick to day. I think I posted about her loosing SOOOOOOOOO many teeth over the last part of the summer. Well they are ALL growing back in now.

The poor kid’s gums are so swollen. She’s getting them on the top and the bottom. She is running a fever but my thermometer is broken so I don’t know how high it is. I keep giving her Motrin to keep it down and make her feel better.

Last night she didn’t eat dinner and started complaining that her stomach hurt and her throat hurt and her mouth hurt and everything hurt. I called the Dr. and I’m taking her in to have the throat checked out because even with the Motrin she is still complaining that it hurts too much to swallow.

Last night I let Natalie go to sleep in our bed, then I moved her to the love seat and I slept on the couch. She as a loft bed and I didn’t want her trying to climb that if she needed to throw up.

Not sure what time in the early morning hours but William joined the party at some point. He woke me up and asked if he could sleep on the love seat. I told him no, because Natalie was sleeping on the love seat. So he lay down on the other end of the couch, I curled up into a ball (one of my favorite sleeping positions) so he had some room. At 4:30 AM Natalie woke up and woke me up because she needed medice because EVERY THING was hurting again.

I put William back in his bed and Natalie and I tried to go back to sleep, but never did. Ed got up and walked the dog, then about 6:15 I ran to get him a box of munchkins and a box-o-JOE (Dunkin Donuts drive through!)For his meeting this morning.

Now it’s a little after 9, I dropped William off at school and I’m starving so I told Natalie we were going to WAWA. She said

N: But I’m in my pajamas
M: That’s ok, it’s Wawa, I go to Wawa in my PJ’s all the time
N: You DO?
M: Yep, and so do a LOT of other people.
N: Ok, I’m goin to Wawa in my pajamas (she got a real kick out of this)

I got my hoagie and I told her she could get an icee and maybe that would help her mouth and throat to feel better. We got our stuff and got back in the car. As I was pulling out of the parking lot she said to me

N: Mom, do I have to pay you back for the icee if I throw it up?
M: (laughing a lot) No honey you don’t. Just make sure if you throw up you get it in the bucket!
