The doctor just came in and took out Ben’s chest tubes. He now has three belly buttons. Cute! The boy did great. No flinching and just a little whining. Perfectly normal. Just ask any person who has had a chest tube yanked out of his body. Ben did awesome.
When they were done, Ben said he didn’t want anymore yanking, pulling, or tying. Deal. At least for the next hour.
He has his ipod touch on and is watching Bolt. We will go for an xray soon to make sure that his innards look good. We will go soon.
On the other hand, Madie has decided to start vomiting. Poor thing. I think that she is under so much stress right now. She has had to be good for an entire week. No backtalking, no refusing to do chores, no typical almost-eight year old behavior. Grandma G. is on her way to Aunt Deb’s house to rescue Madie, Ainsley, and Aunt Debra. Aunt Debra has had a rough night with poor Madie. She needs a break too. Grandma G. is taking the girls home with her. The Kennels arrive Sunday at the house to take over parent duty. I hope Marsha and Lonnie are well rested. Take your advil now Marsha!
I’m only a phone call away if Marsha and Lonny need anything! No, it’s not too much trouble!
