Surgery...Again!

 Thank heavens it wasn't a broken limb and was actually scheduled but this guy had a tonsillectomey, adenectomy, and tubes in his ears this morning.  It should help immensely with hearing, talking, and loudness.  We had him all prepped to go and he was looking forward to it--we tried to make it not so exciting.  Then he woke up this morning and couldn't eat or drink.  we weren't scheduled to be their until 8:45 am so after only one temper tantrum we made it.  This is us waiting for the doctor.  He is not too thrilled but then we pulled out his Legos and it was much better.
 This is him right before we headed home.  He did really well coming out of anesthesia, crying minimally (at least compared to the little boys by us) and once Word World came on and after two rounds of pain killers he was great.
 He came home to a package from Grandma that he loved and promptly wanted to eat.  After 2 scrambled eggs and 4 yogurts he was a very happy boy--at least as long as we give him his pain meds every 4 hours.  Wish us luck he continues to do so well and that this is worth it!  We sure love him though!!!
