Isaac

Well, as many of you know Isaac has had a rough year. Nothing major, but he was basically constantly sick. I started keeping a journal of how often he got sick and he never went longer then 10 days and that was usually when he was on antibiotics. So, after many visits with the pediatrician, allergists and an ENT we decided that he needed his tonsils out. He has already had tubes put in his ears and his adenoids out...with minor change.
He was scheduled for surgery August 10th. Of course for 2 weeks prior he had diarrhea and then about 2 days before started to get a pretty nasty cold. We were sure if they would still do the surgery by THANKFULLY after evaluating him they decided that he should be okay.
We headed up to Primary's in the afternoon on the 10th, he was a champ and did so good considering he couldn't eat anything the whole morning. The surgery lasted about 30 minutes, the surgeon said his tonsils were "huge" so all in all, his surgery was a success.

The recovery was long. Basically 2 whole weeks of not really eating or sleeping well. He was on Loratab every 4 hours...but we are so glad it is all behind us and we are optimistic for a fairly healthly fall and winter.

Pre-surgery waiting room, he was trying will all his might to get through those doors.
Nice look, they needed to put his name band on his foot, it didn't seem to bother him a bit.
Poor little man has no idea what is about to hit him.

About 2 hours after the surgery, isn't that the saddest picture...especially when compared to the happy little man above.
My mom came to help relieve us. Our kids have a really hard time coming out of anesthesia, so it was nice that one of us could leave and get some fresh air.
