What's been going on here

Last Friday little Bronson and I went to the hospital for him to have his adenoids taken out, with the possibility of tubes being put in his ears.  My sister Cheryl was so gracious and came over the night before to spend the night so she could be there with Brock the next morning...as Bronson's surgery was SUPER early.  I waited in the waiting room and the Dr. came in and said, "I really feel I need to take his tonsils out as well.  They are really huge."  (Basically this means a routine 30 min surgery, and out of there in an hour turns into 4 hours recovery and 7 days recovery at home).

Bronson did beautifully when he came out of surgery.  I was nervous b/c after his tear duct probe in November he went ballistic when he came out of surgery.  But this time, they let me be right there as he was opening his eyes, and he didn't cry once.  He just remained extremely sleepy.  We finally left the hospital, and went home to take it easy.  He's been recovering pretty good.  The last couple of days though, I had to give him the stronger pain medication, b/c he's in so much pain. :-/  Hopefully he will be on the upward slope soon.

Brock has been having fun with Mommy-son days, and Daddy-son days, as he can only go out with us by himself since Bronson has to remain at the house.  On Saturday I took Brock to go see Yogi Bear at the theater.  He had fun!  Then we went to the library to pick out some "movie-time" movies, books, and music.  On Sunday Brock went with Brian to run some errands and to play at the Y.  Today I got to go to my zumba class while Brock played at the Y. (Brian stayed with Bronson), and then Brock got a kid hot chocolate from Starbucks.  So he knows that we can't do a lot with Bronson, but he's having some fun one-on-one time. 




Signing off for now!
