Finn is good. His eyes are almost completely healed with just a little gunk every now and then. We will continue the drops for a couple more days. BUT, I don't know if it is the same cold or if he got another bug, but he has been coughing and sneezing and actually kept me up for over an hour last night with checking on him because of coughing. I'm hoping it was just a fluke and no big deal. I can't leave for a week and not know that he is fine!
As for me on the other hand, my jaw slipped last night (I've dealt with TMJ for ten to fifteen years now) and I was in MAJOR pain. I took some ibuprofen and took it easy and it felt better, but my teeth/bite was off. My right side teeth weren't coming together. Well, this morning it felt better until I went to eat my breakfast. Did I eat something hard to chew; you ask? Nope...oatmeal! So I knew I had to try to get in to see somebody today. After a million and a half phone calls, I was able to get into MN Head and Neck Pain Clinic in BURNSVILLE! Hey, they had an opening, so I took it. Kristine kindly came over to watch the boys (she has the week off and was going to pick Austin up anyway). I left the appointment with a prescription for a muscle relaxer, a review lesson on what TMJ is and how to prevent it and a "take it easy and ice it and it will heal." On the bright side, I do feel much better and my teeth seem to be coming together again. I just didn't want to be in pain for the whole Aruba trip and not be able to eat anything!
Finn's weight check/9 month well-child appointment is tomorrow! Hope it is all good news (he doesn't need shots this time, yeah!).
