Well the easy part is over.

Ike had his tonsils out this morning and is now asleep. Lots of crying and screaming (as much as someone who just had his tonsils removed can do) in the recovery. It took awhile to convince him to take the tylenol with codeine, but he finally did and is now sleeping.

Now to get through the next few days.

My sympathies. I had my own tonsils out at age 8 or 9, I think. I recall waking up confused and scared in the recovery room, and screaming my little head off for a good five minutes before I realized that screaming hurt. A *lot*. And later... that ice cream that they tell you that you'll be given? It was terrible.

That was my last hospital stay. I imagine there will be others in my future. I hope the ice cream will have improved by then.

I had mine out at 15...I didn't like the ice cream thing either. It was too cold. I ate an entire Costco case of Otter Pops in a week instead.
