Army's Secret Weapon DISCOVERED...

Today I've discovered what could be the Army's next secret weapon...Matthew! As we went to the dentist office for a third visit to try and fix a cavity he was given the drug, versed, to calm him and make him sleepy. Well, Matthew is one of a handful of people who do not respond well and actually became combative, agitated, and very angry! He accused the dentist of "being a BAD guy", commanded him to "Put your hands up", and then proceeded to shoot him, "Pheeew". He ripped off his earphones, bib, and "nose" (gas mask) and was grabbing at the dentist's glasses. He was totally NOT himself...hitting cars with his fist as we walked by them, stomping his feet, yelling at me and anyone else (shut up, I hate this, I hate that, I'm hungry, etc.), trying to escape his booster seat in the car, crumbling his lunch in his fists, pouring out his drink, and staggering along as he walked, and forgetting things (like where I put his toy...in his pocket). It was quite the surprise and experience today to see my three-year old boy behave as a mean drunk. He just couldn't be reasoned with. I hope he will never get drunk in the future and I will pray for the safety of the community if he ever does! Needless to say after 3 tries we will be waiting until he is a little older to fix that tooth.

Our Thoughts and Prayers

Our thoughts and prayers go out to our neices and nephew - Richard, Kendra, Charlotte, and Winona at the loss of their mother and our former sister-in-law, Carla Gallegos Campbell. She died unexpectedly of a brain aneurism last week. She wasn't even 50 years old yet. Her funeral will be tomorrow, Tuesday, November 18th.
