Tonsillectomy
For our happy Anniversary I gave Dan a tonsillectomy. Well, I didn't perform the procedure but I gave him my permission. Now I feel so guilty because he is in so much pain. I hope so much that it will be worth it. I'm starting to believe all the reports that say a tonsillectomy is more painful than childbirth. He can't even swallow his pain pills to kill the pain. Instead I mix the powder in with applesauce and he struggles to swallow the applesauce. Thank you so much to Jessie for keeping all 5 of my kids today. I know that's no small chore and I'm so thankful they were with you. They had a great time with their Hunter cousins. They are so sad to see their Dad in pain. I wouldn't let any of them near him tonight and Adrian was so sad. He came and sat by me in the kitchen and said how sad he was that his Dad was sick and how much he hates it when he's sick because he wants to play with him all the time. Hopefully we can get through this night. I know Dan will be in a lot of pain so I'll be giving him pain pills every 4 hours and I'll be waking up with Donald. Unfortunately I have a feeling they won't be on the same schedule so we'll see if I get any sleep tonight. I looked up tonsillectomy on wikipedia and I was going to include a picture with my blog but I decided not to because tonsils are not very good looking. I hope you are all doing well. Love, Sarah

I hope he feels better soon! I also hope this takes care of lots of other problems for him.
I'm so sorry for his pain and your lack of sleep. I hope every day is better.
I'm so sad to hear about the pain! You are taking good care of him though, I can tell. I wish I was closer so I could help. I would love to babysit those kiddos. Donald hopes Dan gets better. But when I read him the blog all he kept saying was... "I'm SO glad he's their dad."
