my poor husband

Do you remember that episode of the Brady Bunch where one of the kids had their tonsils out but it was all going to be ok because they'd get to eat ice cream? That's always the image I've had of a tonsillectomy...you know, not a big deal. Well, it is a big deal when your 30-something husband has to get them out. Not fun! Kevin had his tonsils out yesterday, and the surgeon said they were the worst pair of tonsils he had ever seen! Normally the doctor can get tonsils out of a person in 12 minutes flat, but he spent about 45 minutes working on Kevin's. I'll spare you most of the gory details, but they were swollen, infected, and had started growing their own blood supply! It's a good thing he got them out now before they really gave him problems. I've joked with Kevin that he never does anything halfway, including getting sick. He's been a trooper and feels better today than yesterday, but still quite sore. He'll be eating soft foods only for about 5-7 days. Kids are really smart. Grace knew her daddy, "got a little bit sick" and laid on the bed with him for a long while today. She asked him several times, "You feel ok daddy?" Here's to lots of vanilla ice cream this week for Kevin!
