G's recovery from tonsil removal has not been easy. The doc told us that it would be painful. He was not lying. George has been in incredible pain this week and living on narcotics round the clock to get him through it. Poor baby doesn't quite get it...he has shown the gamut of behaviors of lethargy to acting out and pouring medicine on the table because he didn't want to take it (our biggest challenge lately). We're back to sleepless nights...up and down every few hours. I thought this was supposed to end when they were out of infancy...snicker, snicker.
Mom and Dad have been here to ease the brunt of household and kid tasks but it has been really stressful. Little Miss Abigail's world has been rocked as she is not center-stage this week and had a rough transition in understanding that "Dorge is still sick". She rallied the past few days and played on her own quite a bit, loving all the TV time and snuggles. Supposedly Days 5-7 are the worst post-op for Mr. G so I'm praying we're near the end....
To explain the pic above: This morning, they were playing under the computer table and taking care of Abby Baby by feeding her and giving her medicine for her "sick ears and fever." Too precious. Unfortunately, they have seen a lot of that this week.

Ahhhh...I spoke too soon. I thought G's surgery had overall been a good experience for you guys, but sounds like the recovery is rough! Hope he is feeling better soon!
