Pastor Dave's Highlights

Cannot believe your regular dentist wouldn't fit her in for a temp filling with medication. I have a great dentist and they will see you if it is an emergency and do whatever to do a temp fix until it can be scheduled for a permanent fix. Sorry she had to suffer and you and the boys had to go through it, hope she is feeling better.

Might be time to consider a dentist change. Sorry she had to deal with her tooth and you the results. It's a shame when you have to have one pulled because it's just too expensive to fix it. Been there, done that, and there will be more to follow.

Today was rough. Jill had a filling come out and take some tooth with it down to the root. Dentist couldn't get her in til Tuesday, so found an emergency 24 hour dental and they extracted it. $289 or $2000 for a root canal. Too expensive to save the tooth. Couldn't secure a sitter, so spent 3 hours in the lobby with the boys. Fun day had by all.

Ouch! Hope she's ok now.

Jill and I are having a "second honeymoon". She awoke Saturday morning at 2am with severe central abdominal pain just under the ribs that radiates thru to the back. We went to the local ER which is controlled by St Francis hospital. They did CT scan with contrast and gave her some meds. Then they let me drive her to the South Campus, just South of Indy off I-65. They did multiple blood draws and trying to grow cultures. She's on IV antibiotics, and pain meds, and telemetry. She's had her gall bladder removed for 10 years, but scan showed enlargement of duct just above bowel. An MRI today was to determine which endo scope to do tomorrow. She's been NPO all day and night, allowing her to have ice chips once they did the MRI. She had a small bowl of mashed potatos after getting home Friday evening after her tooth removal, and that's the last time she's eaten. The boys are with Jill's mom at our home. This is abt the longest we have been both away from the boys. Who knew sitting around napping could wear you out so much? Haha

Sorry about all the issues. Hoping things improve and the problem won't be difficult to resolve. Gram is probably enjoying the time with the children -- just hurry home.

Meanwhile, use the wait time to write a sermon or two.... Surely there are some insights of late to bring forth guidance for your congregation. We all have unexpected & trying times to work through and often do not know how/why to address the physical or mental considerations and reasons

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Sure hope things turn out good for ya'll!

 

[CntryBoy777]

Sure sorry to hear about Jill and sure hope she can find comfort and some answers to her situation....

Hope Jill feels better soon and hope tbeu figure out what's going on.

No doubt she would rather not be on this 'honeymoon'. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
