a jack update

Jack has followed in his brothers footsteps and too had his tonsils and adenoids out. We prepared for the worst with him. Alex was sooo easy and him and Jack are two totally different kids so we were bracing ourselves. He did awesome. They took him back to the OR without any Versed to make him loopy (like Alex was). The anesthesiologist was super awesome and fun, telling Jack he was going to fly his fighter plane and asked him where he was going to take them because of the mask they use to put you to sleep. He went back totally calm and it went so smooth.

After a short while he was done and a little while after that they told us to go to secondary recovery where we heard screams. Luckily, it was not our kid! He was sitting quietly on his little bed looking a little sleepy, but for the most part looking great. We were only in there for less than an hour and he was discharged.




These are the only pics I have and he wouldn't sit still long enough for me to take a good one. He is just being silly, not freaking out at all. Oh, and he lost one of his top front teeth before surgery so there is a giant hole in his mouth. Kinda wondered why it is such a huge gap but now his permant tooth is coming in and we see why. IT'S HUGE!!! Oh braces, how we see you in our future.

He was feeling so well, we stopped at Menards so Chad could run in quick and grab a few things for our basement project. To buy this stuff in our town we would almost pay double. We stopped in Shopko to get him a little something for being such a great patient but couldn't find anything and deduced that we will have to stop at the impliment dealer on our way home. He ended up finding a really neat tractor colloring book, little toy, and a cool hat that says JD on the front. I know it stands for John Deere but it also stands for Jackson David. Couldn't pass it up. My Grandpa Obed was the first one to call him JD.

He did fall asleep for a short while on the ride home. That was the only rest he had until he went to bed that night. He was and still is such a trooper. You'd never know he had surgery. He has been out of school all week but we're thinking of sending him back on Thursday or Friday. I think he's looking forward to that.

Jack was so tired tonight he fell asleep in bed with Chad around 7. Chad was taking a nap before work and we were all in bed telling daddy goodnight. He was the last one left in there and fell asleep. I had to carry him into his bed and lets just say that's the last time I'll be able to do that again. He is a big boy!
