more doctors, and a dentist.....

Lucas had a dentist check-up today. He was due for a cleaning months ago, but our insurance changed and we had to postpone. I started noticing a spot on one of his back teeth, so decided it was time to take him in.
He as two cavities. Yes, two!
I'm sad. We'd made it 6 years without any, and now Lucas has two. So far, Kilynn still doesn't have any.
So, he'll need to have those taken care of, I'm not sure how he'll do with it. We shall see.

I also took Kilynn in to the ped today.
We've had lots of struggles with her having pee accidents. Not to mention her years of constipation issues, which don't help the peeing issues.
We were starting to get concerned. Not knowing if it was truly just her waiting to long and training her bladder wrong, or is it was medical.
So, after two accidents at school yesterday and me needing to go pick her up. I decided to take her back in.
She does have a UTI, the first she's had. I'm surprised she hasn't had more, with as often as she hold it too long.
So she's on an antibiotic for that.
And she'll be starting a new medicine, that'll help relax her bladder. So that hopefully she'll be letting it all out when she does go, and retrain her bladder.
The medicine is Ditropan. It's used to treat overactive bladders.
I'm super nervous about starting her on a medicine, but I do think this is gotten beyond something "she'll grow out of" on her own.
I read a little about it online, if I read too much I'll talk myself out of giving it a try.

Right now, she doesn't feel it until it's typically too late. We try reminding her, we've tried being nice about it, tried taking things away because of it, on, and on.
So. We'll try this.
So that's me Kiley and Lucas update.

Ryans feeling lots better, hardly in any pain anymore. But that also means, he's forgetting the no lifting over 30 lb rule. His scar is almost all healed up for the most part. It still has some butterfly-bandages on it for now. He's been back and work all week, and feeling alright with that.

I'm doing good. I've had a lingering cough since I had a cold about 4 weeks ago. I was starting to worry it may be walking pneumonia or something. Wouldn't that figure?
