Tonsillectomy

Christopher had his tonsils removed this morning. Todd brought him to the hospital at 5:30. I took Emma to the YMCA at 6:30 for before school care and then went to the hospital. We saw him before they took him to surgery. Pastor Van Gundy was kind enough to come to the hospital to sit with us. He asked Christopher how he was doing and Christopher's response was funny. He said, "Ya know, I think I might actually rather be at school right now!"

Surgery was scheduled for 7:30. They called us to the consultation room at 7:45. Nasty tonsils were already out. We got him home from the hospital around 11:15 or so. He claimed that the pain wasn't too bad. He took a shower, got a drink, and then fell asleep on the couch. Before falling asleep, the thanked us for taking him to get his tonsils out. This makes me wonder if they have been bothering him and he just hasn't been complaining about it. Regardless, they are out now.

Todd went to bed. His body didn't care that he had the night off work. He was still up most of the night and his internal clock wants him to sleep today. I get to baby my man-child.

Oh... the picture up above. I took it before surgery. He wouldn't look at me. He said that he does not support the family blog. And yes, under the surgical cap you do see orange. He lightened several of his dreadlocks (that wasn't bad) but then he colored one blue and one orange. The blue dreadlock isn't visible in this picture because the cap is blue. I tried not to blow up over the blue and orange. I started too. I felt my blood pressure surge. Then I got to thinking; the color will wash out and I remember a time that I had peach hair. I turned out ok. Didn't I? MOM... MOM... you still there or did you fall on the floor?!
