We decided when we left Biloxi that instead of going through the trouble of changing Coy's Orthodontist, we would just travel to Biloxi every other month and stay with Dr. Wakham. His appointment was on Wednesday. Joe had a training class on Wednesday and an appointment with his Doctor in Chattanooga on Tuesday. So, Joe went North, Coy, Caden and I (my mom went with us, too! We had some shopping to do!) went South and Chase stayed in LaGrange waiting for a call about a job.
Joe's doctor was concerned enough to order a chest x-ray. All looked well. He decided to put Joe on an "Event Monitor." He has to wear electrodes and a beeper. Each time he has an "episode" he has to click the beeper. When he has 10 episodes, he has to call in and they download the info from the beeper. Dr. Simpson wants Joe to wear the monitor for two weeks. He also prescribed a medication, Labetalol. It is often used for high blood pressure. Dr. Simpson wants him to record 10 episodes before he begins the medication.
His class on Wednesday was cancelled. He got his monitor "installed" and headed home Thursday evening.
We left out on Tuesday morning. It was a good trip, about a four hour drive. We arrived in a whirl wind of shopping, visiting and eating. It was so good to see Carma and Amanda. We ate dinner at "High Cotton!" Yummy Ribs! Coy had his dentist appointment on Wednesday morning. The crazy train-wreck tooth in the middle of his mouth now has a bracket on it! YAY! It won't be long and that tooth will be where it should be! We did a little more shopping and got on the road headed to LaGrange! My mom left on Thursday afternoon. It was great to have her go with and we enjoyed her company! The kids enjoyed being spoiled for the week!
