So, last Friday Michael took Dorian to the dentist at 8:30 for some fillings. At 9:40 he called me and told me he still hadn’t been seen. I told him to tell them to phone him to make a new appointment and walk out. We had somewhere to be at 10.
So he came home and I phone the dentist who then told me they would call on Monday because they have a new dentist working there and they hadn’t figured out a schedule. Fine.
His new appointment is for 7:30 tomorrow morning, so hopefully he will be in and out and in school on time or at least not too late. Then I have to find an orthodontist to see him because one of his upper teeth cannot come in because the other teeth are too crowded to let it by. We were told we could pull the eyetooth, but really that’s a temporary fix – he’ll need braces anyway. I hope the insurance will cover it, as it’s effecting his development, but if they don’t we were recommended to a local ortho who has a payment plan.
Malachai. Oh, Malachai. Malachai has an appointment tomorrow afternoon with the ped to get a referral for a craniofacial specialist AND he has an appointment for a consult with an ortho (not the one we’re looking to take Dorian too, but one who is a friend of his speech therapist) on Monday afternoon. They block out an entire hour to consult, take x-rays, etc.. Hopefully he will let her do the x-rays (this is the child who wont walk through the door if he sees the dentist chair) and maybe (maybe!) braces will correct his jaw and the craniofacial specialist can get chucked out the window. Of course, I don’t think braces are an ideal solution for him in terms of tolerating them… oh, nether option is a good option.
I feel like I have spent more time at the doctors, on the phone with the doctor, waiting for the doctor in the past month than I have in the past year. Crazy.
Eshiva started Dance yesterday and loved it. She was over the moon to be there. I am so glad she enjoys it. Dorian is starting MMA on Saturday (I think) and Malachai wants to do MMA too, but it’s on T & Th during his therapy. I am not paying the same amount for him to go once a week as Dor to go three times, so… he is SOL for now. I tried to convince him to take dance, but he isn’t interested (they have acro dance, so I thought he might be). Maybe he can do MMA when he finishes therapy? I don’t know when that will be.
