Recovering

So far, Mattie's recovery from his tonsil removal is going pretty well.  He's gotten some energy back, so the challenge is keeping him from doing too much physical activity, and trying to keep him from being too bored with being at home all day!  He's been eating and sleeping well enough, but he's still on a pretty regular schedule of pain medicine (the downside of that is it includes nighttimes -- which means we aren't getting the best sleep in the world!  Oh well!)

He has been a super-good boy about it all, though.  He's great about taking his medicine (except sometimes in the middle of the night), and although he's a little bummed that he can't eat pretzels or jump on the trampoline, he's not complaining about it. (We've had a couple of gorgeous spring days, so the boys' friends have been over, and of course James wants to do the trampoline! The kids have been good about doing other stuff that Mattie can join in on, too.)

I don't remember too much about James's recovery, but I do remember him spiking a scary fever and also just not eating at all for something like three days.  Glad we didn't have a repeat of that!
