Stupid tonsils...

For about 6 months now Nolan has been having trouble with sleeping, eating and breathing. He has had several sinus infections, strep throats, and ear infections. We had a visit with the ENT and they said the tonsils had to go. They were huge. We tried to prep him for the surgery but to a 2 year old, that was impossible. We took him Tuesday and he did great! Mommy and Dada took it a lot harder than him. He had to stay overnight in the hospital for observation due to his age and the size of the incision he had due to his XL tonsils. He is doing well. Still kind of cranky and says his throat hurts alot but really has bounced back better than I ever thought he would. Well, the next phase of sleep training now begins... wish us luck!

Before the surgery...

and after... no more smiles!

Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers. That was very hard on me and Mike. To watch your little ones hurt is a terrible feeling. We could not have done it without all of your help! We are so thankful for great family and friends. You guys are great!
