he even looks cute with braces.

I had braces and believe me, I was NOT cute.

It has been a LONG and exhausting week.  And now I have GOUT!!!!  Yep. GOUT!  A medication I was on seems to have given me GOUT in my right foot!  Apparently, it can be a side effect. And let me just tell you, gout hurts like heck.  My right foot feels like all the bones are broken.  I am in a lot of pain.  But I have a lot to post so stay tuned.  My plan is to post everyday next week.  I will likely do a weekend post too.


{Someone asked why Will needed braces because his teeth look straight...he had something off with his bite ( a cross bite maybe?)  and his bottom teeth are pretty crooked.  He also had a few crooked top teeth.  Anyway, they would all worsen due to this bite issue if we did not take care of it now. Luckily, he will only have them about 18 months.}

  1. Youch. My dad had that all over, for years. It was wretched during a flare up. Hope it heals well. He cured his with a vitamin regimen. Be well!

    Did your orthodontist tell you about the dental wax? Save our lives!! Sunshine gets hers removed on Monday, and gets her retainer soon after.
    Best,
    Snick :)

  2. I remember I was in absolute agony when I had my braces put on - I couldn't eat anything but yoghurt for three days. I hope orthodontics had progress enough in the last few years that Will isn't as uncomfortable as I was.

    I look forward to your posts next week - your family is so lovely :)

    i was wondering if you could tell me what size PBK backpack Kate has in the last post? My daughter is the same age (going to kindergarten)- and I am debating which size to get her- the small or the large (i think the preschool is too small). thanks!!!

    So sorry to hear you have gout. Thankfully, I have never had it but do hear it's quite painful. I hope they can come up with something that will help you feel better quickly!

  14. Sour cherries (even the canned ones, but, not with the pie filling stuff, just the cherries) help gout go away more quickly.

    Just curious as to why Will had to get braces? His teeth look perfect!

  18. My husband has gout and he take allapurinol which is a prescription and hasn't had a flare up in a while. He takes prednisone when he does have a flare up. Stay off of red meat or eat LEAN cuts! Our diet mainly consists of poultry and fish now! God bless you with it cause I know it causes his a lot of pain and usually starts in the big toe joint!
