As most of you already know, I had my tonsils taken out this past Tuesday. It was a VERY early morning. Daddy, Mommy and I went down to the Doctor and I had to put on this silly gown and hair cover. The Doctor was really nice and gave me a stuffed animal- He's an elephant that I proudly named "Taco" (only after Mommy talked me out of naming him, Focko).
I was not very happy about having to take my clothes off. I refused to smile for any of my pictures. Daddy and Mommy understood though. The surgery took about 1 hour and then about 30 minutes of observation before I was able to go home. For the most part, it went pretty fast and I was home by late morning.
We are now on day four after my surgery and I am doing MUCH better. I am starting to drink a lot more, my fever is gone, I'm sleeping well and I'm talking and playing almost like normal again! I am really sick of applesauce, pudding, jello and malto meal. Tonight I get to eat Mac & Cheese!!!
These were some pictures taken a few days before my surgery.. Mommy thought you'd like to see some "happier" pictures after seeing the ones above!
I have already been asking to go to the park and go swimming, so hopefully by the end of the weekend I can begin playing outside a little bit too!

Hi, Eli. Glad to hear you are doing better after your surgery. Now that your tonsils are gone, you won't be getting sick all the time. Yea! Now if they would just let you eat . . . !
I am so happy that you are feeling better and that stuffed animal Elephant is so much better than the Elephant in your throat. That was so nice of your doctor to give you. I enjoyed talking to you on the phone and sure miss you. Enjoy your mac and cheese. Lots of love, Grandma Kathy
I am glad you are feeling better. You look like you are having fun in the swimming pool. I love you and miss you.....how was the mac and cheese?
