Bye-bye Tonsils!

Because Marshall has had so many strep throat infections the past few years, the pediatrician suggested he have his tonsils taken out. The worst part was he had to have blood "tooken" out of his arm a few days before which was traumatic for him! He wasn't happy the morning of surgery, but once he had his "cocktail," he relaxed and they took him back. Everything went smoothly and afterward, he slept a few hours before going home at noon.
I had never seen an oxygen monitor on a toe before, but evidently, that's how they do it on children!
His "Toy Story" crocs that completed his ensemble of Toy Story underwear and Toy Story pajamas!
He was a brave boy and enjoyed being with his mom for the next three days and his dad for one day before heading back to school the next Monday. He was disappointed that the doctor wouldn't put his tonsils in a jar so he could take them to school!
