So yesterday I had to take Skye to the dentist for a cavity. This brought fresh memories to my mind of taking Raine to the dentist 8 yrs ago for the same procedure. The outcome was two totally different scenarios from two of my most similar children. First off they give you medicine to drink to make you relaxed - a wonderful concoction of Demerol, Phenergan and Versed. Let me tell you, there are days I would like that concoction to put me to sleep and out of my misery LOL. Anyhow, Skye takes on drink and says "Yuck" I say, "You have to drink it - do you want me to put it in a syringe?" of course this works and he drinks it up even with the awful faces he is making. Raine on the other hand, takes a sip says "ewww" I say "You have to drink it - do you want me to put it in a syringe?" nope, he'll just drink it, 2 gulps later and then SPEW all back out and over me while he spits it out! Alas, since he didn't get his medicine he didn't relax and we ended up taking him to surgery a few weeks later to fix his cavities - which cost me a fortune! Skye, well, he relaxed, played games, laid down and watched tv and when it was time for the dentist he fell fast asleep! Wonderful! A nice reversal from 8 years ago. God was smiling down on me and said, Hey, I hear you asking for an easier day and look what you got. I am blessed.
