Shawn

As many of you have heard by now, Shawn had surgery the other day. He had his tonsils and adenoids removed as well as tubes put in his ears. The whole procedure was done in less than 40 minutes. He did great! He went back into the surgery smiling at the nurse and they said he did everything they needed him to do without getting upset. He was put under for the procedure. He was quite groggy when he woke up but once they got some pain meds on board he took a long nap in the day surgery recovery. He then woke excited to watch TV and even chose to watch a couple shows before going home.

It is now two days after the surgery and he continues to do great. We are not giving him pain meds that often and he doesn't appear to be in much pain. He has been trying not to talk to much, we are assuming it is very sore in his throat. Both Micah and I are noticing a change in his voice and he seems to be hearing much better!

My mom came down for the surgery to watch the other two boys while both Micah and I were with Shawn. Both Drew and Collin enjoyed having Grams around. She heads home tomorrow and Micah is off to work on Monday so hopefully it won't go downhill as it is back to just me with the boys during the day. Shawn has to drink a ton of fluids during the day and rest for the rest of the week. Hopefully he won't get sick of tv by the end of it, but who would get sick of watching tv.
