Bye-bye, See ya...

Today Andrew said, "Bye-Bye" and "See ya" (if you know Andrew you've heard him say this) to his tonsils and adenoids! Thank you to everyone for your prayers. The surgery went well and Andrew is doing great so far. Praise the Lord! Dr. Clay said Andrew had "whopper adenoids" and that they were the hidden culprit to blame for a lot of his troubles. We are now praying for a quick, easy recovery and that the surgery will give our little one relief from his sinus and sleep troubles. We feel so blessed and thankful for our sweet families and friends. What wonderful love and support you have shown Andrew and our family! Andrew is sleeping soundly right now... hopefully he'll get a good night's rest. The main goal is to keep Andrew drinking and to keep him hydrated. I think that if we can do that and keep him comfy then we'll be on the road to recovery! Here is a picture of him recovering today at home. I imagine he'll spend a lot more time like this in the next few days.... in his chair with his "blankie" and "cars" watching "Einstein" or "Baby Praise".


Check out that top ticker... our baby will be 2 in just one month!

It is so cute to see them with all their stuff..grant always has to have his blanket, papi (pacifier), organge crocs, and he loves to watch Dora the Explorer.
