Eighth Dorrell to Get Braces…One to Go!

Isaac was the 8th Dorrell to get braces at the same orthodontist office. The line of Dorrell's started with Melany and Nathan and since them...Graham, Abigail, Joy, Esther, Elijah and now Isaac...give it a few more years and Joseph will be the caboose! All these Dorrell's going through the same office over the years have worn out several orthodontists! Isaac was planning on ramen noodles (something soft) before going to play ball. Nathan reported in at the start pf the game and Joseph was the starting pitcher and Isaac was catching. Do you suppose they are hoping that being brothers that Joseph will have an easier time aiming for his brother?!? We've had quite a full day. Of course, dialysis started off Woody's day. While he was at dialysis, an exterminator came for a "Fall spray" inside the house. By the time he left it was time to pick ip Woody. After lunch, I was ready for a nap. I ended up setting an alarm so I would wake up in plenty of time prior to the telemed appointment with Woody's Vanderbilt infectious disease doctor. Woody realied that I hadn't come downstairs when it was getting close to time for the appointment. Thank goodness he realized and "paged" me through Alexis. I had doed back off after the alarm went off. The doctor didn't come on till almost a half hour late so we had plenty of time to get ipad set up and his dressing off his leg. She is going to change up his antibiotic and add in another med for a month and then he will go back om his usual antibotic. We will meet infectious disease doctor via iPad again in a couple of months. Till then the wound care here in town and I will keep an eye on how he is doing. After that appointment ended, we are free from appointments till his dialysis on Saturday...in other words a "free Friday!" I'm afraid to get too used to these free days! I'm hoping that these new meds don't make Woody feel bad. He has been doing so well and feeling so much better for about a week now...hate to change what we are doing! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautous!
