Extra 21: Root Canal

Root Canal

So I'm sitting here with an icepack on my face, and a tooth that feels like it wants to explode. How can my tooth feel worse now then when it had the crater in it? I had a filling fall out, oh about 6 weeks ago. Do you think I could manage to drag myself to the dentist before it was a problem? Nope! I mean who really wants to go to the dentist? I kept saying, I'll call in 10 minutes, an hour, tomorrow. I didn't I waited until it started throbbing. So I guess it really is like the oxygen mask on an air plane. We need to take care of ourselves too. If I would have called fist thing I could be taking care of my kids right now, instead of dumping them on the husband. Also I wouldn't have and icepack on my face, and be contemplating taking one of those percocet's left over from having little Leighty.

That's a bummer babe :-( Sure hope u heal fast! (let us know if you need help watching your kiddos) P.S. I would have put it off as long as I could. . . That's not a fun thing to take a 'time-out' for. :-)

About This Blog-

This blog is mostly about Leighton, and how she has changed our family. We were blessed with our little Leighton in 2011. We didn't know she had a little something extra before her birth. She was born with an extra 21st chromosome. We didn't know it at the time, but she was going to change our lives as most babies do, for the better. This is just a day to day of what life is like having a daughter, or sibling with Down syndrome. It's truthfully in essence the same, if not better as our life before we had her. We do the same things, but some how she makes us better, and happier people. She has become the center of our family. We heard about a boy in college who also had Trisomy 21 wearing a shirt that said High on Chromosomes, and I decided that's what I want Leighton to feel. So I named her blog after that shirt. I want her to feel an extra chromosome is nothing to be ashamed of (it's something she can't change, and you may not believe it, but I wouldn't want that anyway). It's always going to be a part of her. I want her to be proud of it.
