We have had all kinds of "fun" the past few weeks. All four of us had our yearly check-ups, Judah got five stitches in his knee, and Isaac had his first colonoscopy. Judah was terrified of getting stitches. He had been playing ball with Isaac and fell on some sharp slate rock. It went right through his jeans and his knee! At first I thought he was fine, but then I realized how wide the cut was. I was so proud of him. After his "freak out" he gathered himself and was SO brave through it all. What a guy! I was proud of myself too for watching that needle go in and out of he wound several times and not tossing my cookies:)Everyone's check-ups went well. Isaac had to follow up on some minor stuff, I was fine, and the kids were thrilled that they do not get shots until next year. They have moved from the "crying" phase, to the "pretending they are excited about it" phase. It is funny.
Isaac had his procedure done yesterday. It was not easy to see him in a hospital gown and under the influence of drugs to knock him out. I was looking around with compassion at all of the elderly couples who seem to feel right at home there. I was feeling blessed to be young and healthy, and so glad that Isaac was alright. What I will say is that if you have never had a colonoscopy, you will find out that they fill you up with a LOT of air. All of the rooms are right next to each other separated by curtains, and it can get very "noisy" all around, if you know what I mean:)
*Fun Fact: The kids are down stairs singing, "do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do." They are both on key!! Music to mommy's ears. The "Sound of Music" soundtrack is working.
