Well, we are home from the hospital after the surgery.  Sure enough, his tonsils, adenoids, and right turbinate were greatly enlarged, and it was a good thing that all three were taken out (or, in the case of the turbinate, resectioned) now.  David is in quite a bit of pain (and on pain meds and antibiotics), and his face is twitching quite a bit as the anesthesia wears off.  He is walking and talking and still has his dry sense of humor, even though his nose is bleeding and it's very uncomfortable to swallow.

It was strange laying in bed in the middle of the night, thinking about the day ahead.  I actually slept quite well until 4am, when Abbie got up to get a drink of water.  I was ever vigialant to make sure it wasn't David getting something to eat because he had strict orders to have no food past midnight.  Abbie was coughing quite a bit and needed to use her inhaler.  I could hear David snoring in his usual loud way for possibly the last time.  Darren was breathing heavily next to me as he slept.  My right side was sore from ovulating.  It was a full life and one that was about to change a bit. 

Even though it's not yet 11am, I feel emotionally wrung out and exhausted.  We still host biology lab here in just over 2 hours, but Darren will be the lab assistant so I can tend to David's needs. 

May you all have a great day!
