Today I took the day off to take Zack to the Pediatric ENT and both Zack and Sophia to the dentist for a couple minor fillings. So, as usual, I took the camera along and we stopped at a couple places for some photos. One of the places as seen in the above pic of Sophia's feet is the front of the dental office. I have had an eye on spot since I had my root canal a couple of weeks ago.
The teller at the bank inside of Walmart gave the kids red balloons so I decided to pull over and let the kiddos play in a random empty lot. They had a blast, and I got to take pics to it was all good!
The pic of Sophia above was taken at a small church in the historic part of town. It is about a block or two from the dental office. So, pretty much, these are pics or our day today!! :)
Update on Zack's visit to the ENT: Zack has never really been able to breathe through his nose. We have tried childrens allergy medications and various other allergy related behavior alterations, but nothing helped at all. His breathing never changed. He sounds like he is sound asleep when he breathes, and it is very hard for him to eat politely with his nose plugged all of the time.
So, today I took him to a specialist where he ended up needing a cat scan and will likely have surgery on his nose to remove his adenoids and also to clear out his passages by shrinking some other parts on the inside of his nose. I should hear tomorrow exactly what the doc suggests.
I am just so thankful that I have insurance and can get the kids the healthcare they need! As a side note, today's doctor visit was $175 and that did not include the cat scan. And, no the insurance did not cover the $175. Ouch! But, my priority right now is getting the kids health needs handled to the best of my ability.
Sophia's glasses are working well for her. Josh also got glasses, and they are working well for him. Zack, Sophia, and Kenny have all had their dental visits and care. Gina has had her dental visit and had no cavities AGAIN! Lucky woman!
Next step is to take Zack to a gastro doc so that we can figure out why his digestion isn't quite right. Perhaps this is why his growth is a bit slower than it should be. We shall see.
