Tonsillectomy/Adnoidectomy.... check!

We made it... it was maybe the longest night of my entire life, 4 childbirths excluded, but we survived! Micah is now home and doing good. He had some trouble with vomiting from the anesthesia... and the thoughts of vomiting with fresh stitches in his throat just makes me cringe. He had a rough day yesterday and a horrible night with the pain, but we have now got it all under control here at home (that is... Mommy has him all drugged up!! Thank you Lord for codeine!), and he even went outside to play for just a bit this afternoon after we got home. He is just loving the ice cream at every meal... and he picked out some powdered donuts as a "soft food" too...
One of the sweetest things during all this crazy time was my sweet Coby. Most of you know him as the crazy one with all the funny stories, but he has a heart the size of Texas, and he was just so worried about Micah. He had tons of questions about tonsils and what they were, if we would see them, if they would fix them and put them back, how they got them out ('do they use scissors?'), if Micah would cry, bleed, etc..... He overheard me telling someone on the phone that he was throwing up blood and he started crying! I looked back and saw he was sad and I asked him what was wrong. "Is Micah gonna die?" He said with those huge blue eyes and crocodile tears... Break a momma's heart!!!! So I decided to take them all up to see him and see that he was ok... even thought he was not really up for visitors, it lifted his spirits a bit to have them all come get on his bed, see his fun stuff, and push the buttons on his bed... that was Cason's favorite part! Mimi and Paw Paw took them back to their house for a while and Clint picked them up there while I stayed the night with Micah.
Thanks to everyone for the prayers that have been answered! I am so glad the surgery is all over, and I am SO glad to be home, back in my water bed (as opposed to the 6 inches of bed that Micah shared with me last night!) Now lets pray that the recovery continues to go well!
Once again, I have some pics to post, but my stinkin camera wont download them.... I cant figure out what the deal is!!
