Surgery, Brandon, Pups, and Teeth

After another visit to the Urologist today, Lily has been scheduled for endoscopic surgery the last week of October. They will put her to sleep and perform a Deflux procedure where they inject a medicine into her bladder that will help seal the areas where her ureters enter the bladder. This will fix the reflux problem. It is an outpatient surgery that will only last about 30 minutes and she will be given gas before they even put the IV in. That way she won't be traumatized by needles and catheters. She is scared, but we are trying to convince her that everything will be alright. She has been prescribed another antibiotic to take each day until the surgery.

Brandon is in Jackson, TN for the next few days. I miss him when he is gone! Even though I get some alone time (the kids are all gone, too), I miss having him around. He is working so hard these days to reach his sales quota by the end of the year, and I am so proud of the progress he's made so far. He is on a softball team for a local bar called The Brick and they have placed first place for regular season this fall! They are now in tournaments and they could win another trophy!

Brandon and I took Cinco to Walk Your Paws this weekend. It's an event for dogs here in Decatur. She got to mingle with other pups and enjoyed letting everyone ooh and aah at how pretty she is. She was a good pup. We came away with lots of treats for her.

Tyler lost another baby tooth today when he bit into a chicken nugget from Wendy's. He only has two more baby teeth to go before we get him fitted for braces. Jackson, on the other hand, needs to see the orthodontist right away. His mouth is not big enough for all his permanent teeth and his palate will need to be stretched before he can get braces. Looks like we're about to spend some serious cash on these boys.
