We ate at Bandana's in Rock Hill tonight. The weather was lovely, so we sat outside, which really helped keep the boys entertained, as there was a busy intersection and a large fountain to watch. As it turned out, this particular fountain was much like the ones at Tilles Park and the Missouri Botanical Garden: jets of water shooting up from the ground, just made for running through. Dominick couldn't resist, and we decided to let him go ahead. So here it was, getting dark, and our crazy child was screaming and running through the fountain. Periodically, he stopped to run circles in the grass but always headed back to the water. As we left with our soaking wet boy, another boy's dad said to me, "Good luck with all that." No kidding! Mike had to strip Dom down to his underwear in the parking lot and wring gallons of water (well, maybe I'm exaggerating slightly) out of his clothes.
Mike had a fun day yesterday. He went to an oral surgeon to see about a clogged salivary gland and ended up having it removed. Apparently, the surgery did not go very well. It's never good when the doctor yells, "We have a bleeder!" Mike's been taking it easy since and seems to be feeling a little better, but he'll be on meds for a few more days.

Omigoodness! You mean he had his SALIVARY GLAND removed? or the blockage? Whichever, it sounds awful. I know how much trouble Roberta McReynolds has because her salivary glands were destroyed by her radiation therapy. Sure hope Mike will be ok after it all heals. Yikes.
I assume the blockage. Poor guy--he's still swollen, but at least he can talk normally now. Mike said the doctor chewed out the assistant because she nearly fainted. There was a lot of blood.
Well, Mike just told me the whole gland was removed. Whoa.
