We went into Boston with our workers and friends from Minnesota last Monday. We toured Fenway Park, stuffed ourselves at Pagliuca's and walked the Freedom Trail. We had a wonderful time such that it was hard to part ways at the end of the day.
On Wednesday, Nathan had his appointment at Children's Hospital regarding his tonsils and adenoids. He went into the appointment saying he would be a big boy and do exactly what the doctor said. I liked his attitude. It was much better than a week before where he simply said he wasn't going. When it came right down to it though, he was terrified and wouldn't hardly do any thing. The nurse, had Thomas sit up in the chair with Nathan and everything he did to Nathan, he did to Thomas first. It totally relaxed him. The extent to the exam was a flashlight by the nurse practioner who exclaimed over the size of his tonsils and the sound of his breathing. She said if she was at all uncertain or it I was, that we could go downstairs for an X-ray. I knew and she knew without an X-ray he would benefit hugely to surgery to remove both so that is the plan on July 13. He'll have one night there at the hospital for monitoring and then 2 weeks of nothing for recovery. I can take him to the grocery store and other quiet activites but nothing more physical than taking a walk or wading his feet. Thomas is desperate to come with us but he'll have to stay with his Dad.
Thomas called my computer a "black-top" the other day.
