Bad News...

Cooper does need surgery. We had our doctor appointment yesterday with the ENT and it didn't take him long at all to see that Cooper's tonsil had a 20-30% growth since the last time we had come into the office. I think that was in the fall. So he said that there is no more waiting around to see if Cooper's body would grow into it like he told us last time....it needs to come out.
I am very nervous as I think any mother is when she finds out her child needs surgery...no matter how simple it is. It does help that Trenton (my nephew) has been through it so I kind of know what to expect but I'm still scared for him. He of course has NO clue what is going on. From the time we pulled into the Dr.'s parking lot to the time Cooper actually had to get examined he was trying to convince me that it was Grant that needed to go to the doctor....not him (he has a fear of doctors...he did do really good for dr. though, no crying). But even when Cooper was done he told the Dr. that it was Grant's turn. I guess he thinks they have to do everything together! Which could make surgery day interesting since Grant will be staying home with my mom. They've never really been alone. They don't really like to be alone. My mom will have to keep track of how many times she'll hear Grant say "Where's Coopie?".
Surgery day is May 29th and for 2 weeks afterwards we will be having to feed Cooper only mush (oatmeal, yogurt, applesauce, etc.) which could get interesting when he sees Grant eating whatever he wants! We will also need to restrict his activities...no swinging, no riding bikes, no swimming. If you don't know Cooper very well then you have NO IDEA how hard this will be....the child can't sit still. It's going to be very difficult but on the bright side it will give me some very interesting things to write about!

Jackson's appointment is tomorrow to discuss possible food allergies. He asked me last night if he could take the day off of school because dr. appointments make him tired and my answer was.....ummmm NO (nice try little stinker)! His appointment is at 4:15....well after school is out.

I'll keep you posted on that one too! Hope your day is a great one!
