Earlier this week James had tubes put in his ears and his adenoids taken out. He did great and is still doing great. He's supposed to take it easy for the next two weeks. I think its gonna get tuff. He's already starting to run around and ruff-house with his brother. I've got to keep reminding him to take it easy.
Isn't he the cutest patient you've ever seen? And he was so polite. I think all the nurses just loved him.
He didn't care for the ID bracelet, he thought it was itchy and he hated the IV and said it was poking him (I couldn't disagree with him there). The nurse guided him through doing the unwrapping and untaping when it was time to take it off and she even let him help her pull out the needle. He didn't get grossed out at all. He was just glad to have it off.
This last picture is post-op. I wanted to get a picture of his blue tongue from the blue popcycles. He didn't really care for having his picture taken. He did enjoy all the popcycles. 
His class at school made him a bunch of Get Well Soon cards that were darling. He just loved that, but he really hates having to do all the homework. He'd rather just watch movies and play video games-and eat popcycles!
Poor guy! He looks like a brave little thing. My girls would have been freaking out...not too different from their mother. :)
