Tonsilfree...is that a word? How do you spell it?

Isaiah post surgery, it took him two days to drink that sippy of juice.

So it has been a week since Isaiah's surgery, and he finally ate a freezee today. Along with some mac n cheese. I can count every single rib on him from across the room, and his breath smells obnoxious, even though we brush twice a day. The road to recover has been rocky, but we keep trekking. The good news is his lymph nodes have already gone down in size. The bad news is we broke Nate's green chair with all the rocking. As long as he gets his tylenol every four hours he is functioning. The toughest part is getting him to take the tylenol. Bribery, force, all have been executed in the past week to help Isaiah deal with the pain of his healing throat. The funniest part came via postal service last Saturday. A 5x7 picture of Isaiah's tonsils on a cartoon face/mouth. He is fascinated by it and carries it around the house. I am simply disturbed.

I'll just keep praying for your little guy.

It's so hard when little ones have surgery. Isaac had one when he was 6 and he came out of it very hard too. The whole process is just hard to watch and hard to go through.

Hope your little Isaiah starts feeling better very soon
