Kayen's indecent & the girls getting ready for school!

Aug. 3rd

Today I've been catching up on all the laundry that I've been avoiding all week. And I was marking the girls things I got for school the day before. I must say that it feels great to have their school stuff bought three weeks before school! Usually I wait to the last min for everything. 

This afternoon about 4pm I just got a load of laundry out of the dryer. I brought it into the living room and dumped it on the floor in front of my couch. I walked back into the kitchen (thats where my washer & dryer are) and out of the corner of my eye I seen kayden run from one side of the living room to the towel pile. I knew he was going to jump on all the warm towels because all the kids just love doing that. But I didn't actually see the jumping part because I was in the kitchen by then.

I walked back into the living room (about 1 min later) and Kayden was sitting on the pile of towels with his back to me. I walked over to him because I knew something was wrong (hes usually very hyper) and when he turned and looked at me all I could see was blood coming from his mouth. My mom happened to be at my house and grabbed him to bring him into the kitchen to sit on my chair (there is better lighting in my kitchen) and I ran and got something to wipe all the blood off so I can see what happened. 

Once I got the blood wiped off his mouth I could tell that his tooth went through the top of his lip and came out the bottom of his lip. Of course his mouth was still bleeding after a few min and I thought that was kinda weird. So I decided to look at his teeth (he wouldn't let me touch his upper lip to pull up to see his teeth at first). But when I pulled his top lip up I was able to see his front teeth. His front right tooth was still bleeding all around it. And I touched it and it was lose! I called my sister right away (shes a dental hygienist). She told me to give him soft foods and that his gums should harden up. But if his tooth turns colors thats not good and they would probably have to pull it. 

My sister came in the next morning to look at Kayden's mouth. She said his tooth is still lose and gums are puffy where his tooth got jammed in back in his gums a little. She says just keep an eye on it. Kaylee & Kayden have dentist appointments on next Tues (Aug 10) for there yearly check up. Which I had already made that two months ago! So I guess that worked out good! 

So can you believe that through all of this he never even cried! Which I guess shouldn't really surprise me because he never cried for any of his baby shots or when he split the corner of his eye socket open when he was two. What a tough lil guy! I asked Kayden what happened and he said that when he jumped that the landed his mouth on the couch. Which our couch doesn't have the best stuffing anyways (I hate the couch) and some spots there is no stuffing and you can just feel the wood frame.

 I took the girls to get their hair cut for school. Alexa decided that she wanted to get her hair highlighted. She has been begging me to let her do this for a looong time!

Kaylee decided that she just wants a trim and she is going to try to grow her hair back out. 

I even decided to treat myself and get my hair colored and highlighted too! It had been a 1 1/2 since I had touched my hair!

Today Alexa had another appointment at a mental health center. We went in last week to give her basic info, family history, & the reason(s) that I'm having her seen. So this time she got to talk to her child therapist. By the end of the visit she said that she believes Alexa has ADHD & ODD. Which makes since on why she acts the way she does and why I'm have issues with her. It's almost a relief that it's something. I was starting to think that I was crazy! Or maybe it was my parenting! Which I had changed up many times trying to think of different things for Alexa and different rewards for her. I guess you just don't want to think anything is wrong with your child. I would just tell myself for the past 5 yrs (which Ive noticed symptoms since she was 1 believe it or not!) that it was just a phase and she'll grow out of it. But instead of growing out of it, it has just gotten worse. So she goes back again on the 23rd. And then she meets with another doctor (Sept 10) to evaluate her to see what medication is best for her. 

On our way back home Alexa said to me that she was excited for all of this and that she can't wait to be "normal". It broke my heart to hear her say that. I told her she is normal. But some just have a different ways of seeing things and thats OK. And that I still love her more than anything in this world! I must admit I'm nervous about starting Alexa on meds.  She just keeps getting worse and worse. And I feel alone. I don't know anyone else who deals with a child like her. But I'm sure there are many I just don't know any and I'm sure is not something mothers just talk about. I know if I don't do something it's just going to end her up in a girls home or worse. My worst fear is that she is going to end up like her dad. I pray that NEVER happens!
