The Zoo

What better way to recover from having your tonsils removed than spending the day at the Zoo! It was Day 3 post surgery for Nathan and the Dr. warned us that Day 3-5 are typically the worst. I was nervous about the trip but hoped that it would be a pleasant distraction from the pain.
 We had a wonderful day with the family. We met the kids cousins from Philip's side of the family for the day. It was hard to tell what the kids enjoyed more being together or being at the zoo. Nathan had about this same expression all day long.   He held out until we left at 3:30 and then slept all the way home!

Goodbye tonsils

Nathan had his tonsils removed this week. He handled the surgery like a champ and was treated like a prince by all the hospital staff. He was the only patient in the surgical center that morning. Needless to say, he won the admiration of all the staff. He has handled the pain and discomfort unbelievably well. He has already stopped snoring and mouth breathing!

We had a blast at the church's Easter Egg hunt. It was such a beautiful day. It was wonderful to be outside.
