1. Recent developments in Moscow have required family members to be patient.
Cosette and Taylor's baby boy, Buchanan, seemed poised to come into the world, but he was taking his sweet Bucky time!
On Thursday, the medical pros began inducing labor and, by Monday, Bucky was staying put. His vitals all were good. He was moving around. But he and Cosette, I guess, just couldn't agree on when labor would actually start.
So, Monday night, the medical pros recommended that Bucky come into the world via a C-Section.
Carol, Taylor, Paul, and Cosette discussed this option, committed it to prayer, and decided to move forward with the surgery.
And, so, PRESTO!, today, Tuesday, March 12th, Buchanan Paul Kelly Barnes was born. All I've heard from Moscow, via Carol, is good news about Buck and Cosette.
2. Back in January, the dentist extracted one of my molars. Its roots had fractured and the tooth was unstable. It couldn't be saved. I've been committed to caring for the extraction site as ordered: rinse after every meal with warm salt water, don't eat on that side, and don't use the water pik over there.
Today I had a check up to make sure everything looks good so that the dentist can put an implant in that spot in about a month.
The site looks great.
I'll keep following the care plan and return for the final procedure the week after I've joined my pals on April 15, 16, and 17 at the Wildhorse Resort for a three night time of relaxation.
3. I had myself mentally ready to talk about my retirement account with one of the two advisors I work with, but he had an appointment at the doctor. The doc was running late. I rescheduled. No problem. I'll talk with one of the advisors on March 17th. Maybe both. Sometimes we all three talk together. These are video conferences.
