Surgical Week

Jacob had his tonsils out Wednesday and is doing remarkably well, I think.  As long as the pain medicine is given every two hours, he's pretty happy. His throat looks nasty.  I guess he was as cooperative as he could be under the circumstances when I asked to take his picture today. As he put it, "Hurry up, this eraser tastes nasty." 

Andi, on the other hand, is not faring so well after her surgery.  She had her gallbladder removed Thursday morning and went home, only to be readmitted to the hospital on Friday afternoon. She has been unable to keep any food down - which translates into not being able to take any pain medicine.  While in the ER, it was determined she also has an infection.

30 hours and many pumps of the pain pump later, she is still not able to eat or drink.  Additionally, she has gotten a bad headache, so she is just pretty miserable.  Hopefully, they will get her straigtened out and she will be home in a day or so.
