Wade update.....

He is DRIVING ME CRAZY! Only a little bit. 
So on Monday, for those of you who don't know, he had his tonsils and dangly thing taken out. He also had a part of his nose broken to give him bigger nasal passages. (FYI all the medical terms I use are all very technical!) He has been in a lot of pain and is enjoying the liquid Lortab that was prescribed. We are waiting for the scabs to fall off his throat so that he can be in MORE pain. Then once that starts to heal his nose is going to start hurting. (that is what they told us.) Isn't Wade so LUCKY?
I think he is starting to get better. He is complaining about eating too many sweet things. So on Thursday he asked for some fries. I got him a Happy Meal. He was able to eat it all. And really I think all the good nutrition that he got by eating that is going to help him feel better! (if you didn't know that was me being sarcastic!) So I think we are on the road to recovery. It is a lot slower than he thought it would be. And I have already had enough of being nurse. Wade doesn't deal with pain very well and he gets worse the longer he has to deal with it. Which makes makes it harder for me as well. Can you tell?
He is doing better. Thank you for all the support and prayers that you have offered. Now if you could pray that I can get through his recovery that would be great! 
I did take some pre and post surgery pictures on my phone at the hospital and as soon as I get those off they are totally getting posted! I do have to say that I am glad there was no external bruising for Wade, at the same time I wish there was so we could make up some wild story about how he got it! Oh well maybe I could punch him later! (Just kidding! Gosh, I wouldn't do that!)
