What a Sicko!

Who thought that getting your tonsils out would be such a big deal? Allison had hers out when she was 4 years old, and she didn't have this many problems! I guess we should start from the beginning. Brian has always had a problem with sore throats/tonsillitis. Every winter we go through the same mess. Last year he got strep really bad and then gave it to the rest of the family, including Catie - who then developed Scarlet Fever (what a pain!). He also snores. Really Bad!! After this last bout of sore throat mess, and snoring that won't stop, we decided it was time to go see the ENT. The doc took one look at Brian's nasty tonsils and decided they needed to come out. None of us thought it would be a big deal - heck, Allison had done it, right?
WRONG! What we have since figured out is that those little things called tonsils are a BIG deal for us adults! Brian has been SO SICK since Friday. He hasn't been able to eat anything that hasn't gone through the blender. He can't talk. All he does is sleep on and off all day/night. And of course, since he is in tons of pain (which Brian has never been in - he has never even broken a bone and this was his first real hospital visit) he is super grumpy. :(
We took Hannah to the same ENT office last night (she has to get tubes in her ears this month) and we were talking about Brian's progress. I was informed that this coming weekend will be the worst part of his recovery. WHAT!! I thought he was finally starting to get better! Nope. I was told that once the scabs start falling off, he is going to "want to die". Great. What a weekend we have to look forward to.
Please pray for his QUICK recovery and my sanity! ;)
