My mom is here :). She came to help out w/ Henry and Owen while Emmett had his tonsils out. His surgery was yesterday, and he did awesome. They admitted him to the pediatric floor to keep an eye on him after the surgery, since when he surgery at age 4 (hernia repair), he came out wheezing from an asthma flare up. And this time, he was wheezing, too. But, it didn't take long until it went away. After sitting in his hospital room for 6 hours, we decided to ask if we could go home. They agreed, and we got to come home :). He's still taking prescription pain meds, but he's not really complaining about pain. He's not drinking much (because he says it hurts to swallow), and that is probably our biggest battle. He's supposed to be activity free for 2 whole weeks! I caught him jumping on my bed today, so that's not going to be easy. He's also supposed to stick to a soft, cool diet for 2 weeks - I'm going to have to be creative, because he's already getting a bit sick of ice cream.

GREAT news! Way to go, Em!
How about applesauce and yogurt? And smoothies... maybe you can sneak veggies into them! Poor little dude... I hope he feels better soon!
