OUCH!

To all of you who told me that a tonsillectomy would be "2 days of heck" and then get better-YOU LIED. This week has been hellacious. Jackson's lost about 5 or more pounds and won't drink anything but water (and I have to coax, beg, plead and threaten to get him to take that). He's not anywhere close to where I thought he would be in terms of recovery. We even had an IV at home the first 2 days, and he is still miserable. My only consolation is that next year (hopefully) he won't have strep throat all winter and his sleeping will improve. I'll just be glad when the scabs fall off and I can quit waking him up every 2 hours to drink. We're exhausted.

The first day home...with the IV.
We had to wrap his hand to protect the IV. Poor kid.
