Family Jensen

Tuesday, January 10: Evan had dental surgery.  He had his old baby root canal extracted, a new root canal done on a different tooth, two caps put on and a few other small cavities filled.  Thankfully he went under anesthesia and doesn't remember it.
I only feed my children sugar.

Saturday, January 14: While Phillip and I were attending a conference in Ames, Brooks put his left hand on a HOT wood-burning stove at grandma's house.  We took him to the E.R.  He was in so much pain they had to give him a shot of morphine to settle him down.  He has 2nd degree burns on his palm and fingertips.
He is one tough kid.

Tuesday, January 17: Brooks and I went to Iowa City and back (4.5+hours ONE way) for a follow-up appointment at the burn unit.  We will have to dress his blisters once a day for a couple weeks.  We have to watch closely for infection but he should heal fine.

Wednesday, January 18:  My sweet, sweet grandma took her last breath on earth and went to be with her heavenly father.

Thursday, January 19:   Family arrived for the funeral.

Friday, January 20:  Grandma Johnson's visitation in Ida Grove from 5-7p.m.   Phillip lead the prayer service following the visitation.  Anabel decided to make things interesting and threw up with 5 minutes left and continued all through the night.

Saturday, January 21:  Grandma's funeral at 10:30 in Kiron, Iowa.  My amazing friend, Naomi volunteered to sit with Anabel at our house during the funeral.  Hopefully I will have separate posts on the visitation and funeral.  It was such a special time.  Litttle Anabel went 30+ hours without being able to even keep a sip of water down.  We ended the day with taking her to the E.R. at 10:00 p.m.  They gave her some medicine to settle her stomach down and sent us home.

Monday, January 23:  Another appointment for Brooks' hand.  It is healing more each day.

These are only the highlights.  Life is never boring.
