Last night was pretty rough. Jack was doing great initially and I thought maybe that's just how kids pulled through things..... easy! But then the anesthesia wore off and the full pain hit. He was miserable and was refusing to swallow anything. Then we did get some liquids in him and he threw up. Poor guy. He crawled in our bed at 4 pm and pretty much slept all the way through until 6 am. I set my alarm for every 4 hours and gave him his pain medicine. We got him up at midnight and made him drink some hot chocolate (thanks for that idea Michelle!!!!). He drank about 1/3 of it and then went back to bed. This morning I can tell he's feeling a little better. He had ice cream for breakfast........ so that's a good sign!!

leslie, i am so happy that the surgery was a success! what a VERY brave boy jack was! makes me sad that he had a rough night...but here is hoping that tonight will be a much better night for all! enjoy all that yummy icecream jack...i eat some EVERY day!! would blame it on the pregnancy, but i've always LOVED it!! continued prayers for sweet jack to fully recover. the size of his tonsils are unbelievable!!
Glad that Jack seemed a little better today, poor little guy. Hope that tomorrow will be an even better day and that he'll be 100% soon. He looks sooooooooo little in the post-surgery pictures!!!
