Jacob's Surgery

May 17 a week before school ended for the year Jacob went in for surgery. He had some work done on the turbinides in his nose and had his tonsils removed.
Jacob right when he got changed ready for the surgery.
I was really bored.  Can you tell?


About to go in.  He could not see anything.
Soon after he came out.  He was drugged up.  The first thing he asked for was his glasses.  
All the blood in his mouth grossed me out. I almost passed out.  They had to get me something to drink and they had me sit down.
I knew he was feeling better when he asked for the iPad.  I was glad I had it because it kept me busy during the 4 hours I waited for Jacob.
The doctor said that some people eat right after surgery and some have to wait weeks.. I guess Jacob is the kind that can eat right after.  He got a cheeseburger, fries and chicken strips.  He shared half of them with me.  The hospital has some dang good food.
A few days after his surgery we had to take him to the ER for pain and breathing.  We were there for about 5 hours.  Luckily the cafeteria had such good food so I was alright.  It made for a really long week.
A week later we went to Applebee's and shared a burger thanks to a get well gift card Jacob got in the mail.  He was excited to get out and eat good food. He is back to normal now and sleeping much better since the surgery.
