Last Thursday Blake had his tonsils removed. He did great before and during the procedure, which seemed to be over in the blink of an eye. Recovery has been...well, recovery. Not awful, but not easy. Controlling pain of a 6-year old isn't the easiest thing to do when you have to do so via the mouth where the pain is located! And now controlling HIM isn't a cakewalk as a 6-year old only wants to run, jump, play, wrestle with his brother, etc. Two weeks of "light activity" is somewhat of an impossibility. All in all he is improving daily and with this picture he has once again revealed his sweet smile, rosy cheeks and the absence of the dark circles that were once under his eyes. Blake is eating well, staying hydrated and has returned to saying "No!" and refusing to comply. In other words, normal. He also enjoyed riding his old tricycle in the garage, where we told him he had to stay, which he didn't and ended up going downhill in our yard and falling off face first into the grass. Luckily all is well and he just brushed it off. We have a few more days to work on healing and hope to return to a tad more than "light activity" by the weekend!

Beth! So glad to hear that he is improving daily! And I can totally notice that his eyes are brighter without the dark cirlces! Wow! Is that from better sleep, you think? So glad for him! Best of luck as you finish out the "light activity"! Sending our love!
