All is right with the world. Just a little squeaky!


We are 2 weeks post B's surgery and I feel like we are back to normal. He stopped taking pain medicine about day 8, and on days 5-8, only took the tylenol under absolute protest. His diet is back to normal. He is sleeping great, though he seems to be a bit sore from sleeping so soundly. He used to move so much during the night that he never got stiff or sore. Now, he is sleeping in one spot for so long that I think his muscles don't know what to do. That, and I think he's growing a bit. 

So, one side effect I didn't expect post tonsil/adnoid removal was that B's voice has totally changed. It was never really deep, but now it is so high and squeaky, that I literally confuse his voice with his sister's voice when I am in a different room. The good news is that the new voice works well with the Mickey Mouse ears! 

Thanks to everyone for their prayers and support during the entire ordeal. Special thanks to all four grandparents for helping with G while we were away and for helping keep G and B happy post surgery! We are so blessed.

I'm glad he's back to normal. That is not an easy thing for a little guy (or his parents) to go through.

Oh, Jeanelle, what a relief that Ben is doing better. Thanks for the update. Give him and his beautiful sister a big hug from us!
