Brody's Surgery

My baby had to go under the knife last week! We have been noticing how large his tonsils are (as well as everyone that looks in his mouth - from doctors to dentists...) and after many rounds of strep this winter, it was decided that it was time for them to come out. We set up surgery for the end of August, but were lucky and they had a cancellation for this past Wednesday, so off we went to the surgery center. Brody was a champ and didn't seem nervous at all. He talked nonstop about the popsicles and ice cream that he was going to get and that seemed to cure it all! He has bounced back wonderfully and is already trying to run around and do his normal activities. He still has a few days of needing to stay kind of quiet and I think that I will be hard pressed to keep him down! :) (Mom did fine too... Only started bawling after I walked him into the OR and they put him to sleep. It was way too much to see my baby's body go limp and them laying him down. Booked it out of there fast though just in case he wasn't all the way asleep. Hey - I stayed strong when he was watching... :)

In the waiting room. We had to be there by 7:15 am - 6:00 came way to early for all of us!
