Popsicles fix everything!

Benson went in on Thursday and had his tonsils and adenoids taken out. He has always had such a hard time breathing at night and has had a cough for about a year, so we felt it was best to have the surgery and see if it makes any difference. Overall the surgery went great. He is home now just trying to take it easy. He is a trooper, and is still being so sweet even when he doesn't feel good. He is loving eating Popsicles and Gatorade all day and watching whatever movies he wants! Thanks for all the prayers and phone calls and meals and help! Everyone is so good to us!


Side note: When Benson was waking up from the anesthesia he was really aggressive and it took a while for us to get him calmed down. I was holding him and he didn't want me or Doug, he just kept asking for Brielle. It was so sweet. They really do love each other. Brielle was thrilled to hear that and has been so sweet to Benson through this.

P.S. Halloween pictures are coming soon. My camera battery died so my friend is emailing me some pictures. I will post them when I get them.

Here are some pictures of the patient and his brother and sister getting to enjoy Popsicles with him!

Ok, so...does it ever get old that I keep commenting on how darn cute these kids are. Little Benson & Parker I could just kiss their sweet baby faces every time I see them & Brielle just beams with sweetness!

I am so glad he is doing so well! Isn't it nice to have kids that like each other?? I think it is so sweet that they are friends. I know that my siblings are my best friends now. (not always growing up...) That is why families are so important!! Keep up the good work. You must be teaching them right.

I am glad everything went well, it is no fun to see your kid have to do that. I love Brielle's blue teeth in the picture. Those icee pops are the best, and less messy too!

Oh poor little guy, I'm glad that he is feeling ok. That has got to be hard to be that young and have surgery. That is so cute that he only wanted Brielle. So sweet!
