Who Needs Tonsils Anyway?

 Before surgery at Mimi's birthday party.

 Right after surgery - watching the Phineas & Ferb marathon in recovery.


 A few days later - sitting at the table & showing improvement.

 Mornings were the worst after bad, sleepless, painful nights.

 Today!  Playing in the toy room.  No more pain killers!


Evan had 5-6 rounds of Strep Throat this year from the end of January to the beginning of June.  The trip in the middle of the night to the emergency room in June was the last straw.  His ENT decided it was time for those pesky tonsils and adenoids to come out.  We scheduled it for right after vacation and before school started.  Oh boy, has this been a rough 2 weeks on all parties.  We were very thankful for the timing of Evan's surgery since school doesn't start until this week.  There were a lot of nights of lost sleep, tears, puke, and pain.  It would have been a rough go if even one of us was back in school.

Oh my goodness. I have heard its terrible, but worth it in the end. I'm so glad y'all made it through and that Evan is feeling better! All of our love!
