What a Week!

The Minnich's had a full week last week...everyone was in the doctor's office for one reason or another. It seems like, for us, it's all or nothing. We either have everything going on or nothing at all. It all started on Monday, the 16th. Daniel had to go to the Dentist to have two little cavities filled. He was a brave trooper, I was nervous. All in all he did a great job and followed the dentist's and his assistants directions really well. Since the cavities were in the back teeth, they had to be filled even though they are his baby teeth. The dentist said he'll have this baby teeth until he is 10 or so. He got 2 Spiderman stickers, a new toothbrush and toothpaste. I thought he should have got a new bike, but I guess not.
Matt has been doctoring a sore shoulder, and he has been seeing a doctor. This was on Monday and Wednesday last week.
I had my follow-up from the blood work done about my sugar. I guess I'm considered diabetic since I'm on oral meds. My cholesterol was not good either. Even my good cholesterol wasn't good...I guess no more fries (bummer!). The doc said if I can lose 25-30 pounds there's a good chance I can get off the meds. I am suppose to see a dietitian, but I haven't heard from them, it's been 2 weeks. I've been following the diabetic diet from what I remember from being pregnant.
Keep your fingers crossed.
Thursday night Sam was complaining about his throat hurting. I checked and no fever and still sent him to school on Friday. He came home looking a little pale. Saturday morning, and he felt and looked worse. I took him to his doctors and his throat culture came back positive...strep.
He started his penicillin that day and stayed home from church on Sunday. Monday morning...off to school. Sunday he looks 100% better. He don't understand why since he feels better he still has to take penicillin.
This week is much better. We are getting back on schedule and sooooo looking forward to spring.
Have a fabulous rest of March!
