Well on Thursday, February 5th, Jacob had his surgery to put in more ear tubes (his second set) and take out his adenoids. I was a little apprehensive just because Abby went through this same surgery in May 2008 and she didn't do so well. It seemed to totally alter her personality for a couple of weeks. Well, Jacob handled it completely different. He came through the surgery with flying colors and was acting like normal by later that afternoon other than just looking really sleepy! We had promised him he could pick out a new DS game if he was really brave and he even felt like doing that errand before going home. The child amazes me. He is my tough guy. The hardest thing for Jacob I think has been not being able to run and play like he wants to. The doctor says he can't participate in strenuous activity for 2 weeks. That means no recess or P.E. class. I feel really bad for the guy. He stayed home from school today just to get one more day of rest in, the last couple of days he comments allot on how is throat is really sore. Plus daddy really felt strongly about keeping him here. You see when the adenoids are taken out, while they are healing, you have really stinky breathe (it's bad!) and Matt is really worried that someone might tease him about it. I think if it were up to Matt, he would go back until that was gone all together, but we know that we can't do that. He will be going back to school tomorrow. He is ready, we would just protect him as long as possible if we could. We are so thankful for how God was with him through this whole process, it really has been a piece of cake!!
