Well, we survived our ordeal at the dentist office! #5 got four caps, and two teeth pulled as well as a couple of fillings. He didn't have any bad side effects from the anesthesia other than being a bit dizzy afterwards for a couple of hours. He didn't complain of any pain where they pulled his teeth and is now back to eating normal food as well.
He goes back in a couple of weeks for them to put spacers in where his teeth were pulled. Hopefully he will let them do that. I certainly am not going to pay another $925 for anesthesia for them to put spacers in his mouth. Now that he has survived a trip to the dentist I am hoping he will be more willing to let them do cleanings and to do what needs to be done without being put under.
Obviously, I also survived Day Camp. Living on the coast is wonderful. Instead of hot summer weather at camp, we were treated to nice weather around 69. It rained a couple of times, but not much. For the most part it was sunny and warm but not hot. I did a lot of tramping around camp to the various activities, and I also managed to not throttle some of the more annoying cub scouts at camp. Thursday I hiked five miles, most of it uphill. Friday afternoon, once #5 was feeling better, we went on a three mile hike at Lacamas Lake, and Saturday we spent several hours at the zoo. My feet are sore, but other than that I am feeling pretty good!
Thanks for all your good wishes and prayers for #5!
