Doctors ... Doctors ... Doctors

I woke up bright and early Monday morning to go get my blood drawn for the DNA and gene testing on Kenton.  Luckily, the line went rather quickly and I was able to have my blood drawn and get to work before school started.

Around 7:50, I received a phone call from Aaron saying that Talan woke up with pink eye.  So, off to the doctor Aaron, Talan, Hunter, and my mom went.  After some a prescription for eye drops, Aaron was off to work and my mom was left to sanitize. give drops, and try to keep the boys separated as much as possible.  For anyone who has spent any time with my boys, you know what a difficult task that was.  Hunter loves Talan so much and has to do everything that Talan is doing.

Well, after a sleepless night for boy kids (and consequently us parents), Hunter woke up with goop in his eyes.  It was inevitable ... no matter of cleaning and separating was going to stop the spread.  So, off to the doctor the boys and my mom went again.  My poor mom ... she got the pleasure of trying to get drops into both boys' eyes.  She's such a trooper!

I'm very grateful that Dysart decided to jump on board and gave us the Wednesday off before Thanksgiving.  Because of this, Aaron and I were able to take the boys to their first dentist appointment.  Talan probably should have gone a while ago, but I never thought ahead enough to make an appointment.  So, during Fall Break, I was able to make an appointment for the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.  We read the Bernstein Bears Go to the Dentist and Talan was so excited to go to the dentist.  He did a fantastic job!  He let the doctor look in his mouth, did a fluoride treatment, and took x-rays ... all without any complaints and while being extremely cooperative.  We were so proud of him!  Hunter was a little less cooperative, but I think that is to be expected for his age.

So, after many visits to the doctor. it appears my family is on the mend (for now).  We also found out that Talan weighs in at 31 1/2 pounds, while Hunter weighs 28 1/2 pounds.  Yep - that's right ... only 3 pounds different!
