More Ice Cream therapy??

 Isn't this the most pathetic little face you've ever seen?

For those of you on Facebook, you already know... sorry to bore you again.

The last two days, Zach hasn't felt real well. We've all have had a tummy flu, so I thought he was last in line. Today while I was doing the dishes, he just laid on the kitchen floor with his blanky. I noticed he was warm last night, but chalked it up to a warm summer night. When he refused breakfast and lunch, I knew I was in trouble.

Boy was I right. I started playing Dr. Mom and noticed his lymph nodes were huge, and his throat was all swollen inside. I can diagnosis this now with my eyes closed... tonsillitis.

Sure enough, the doctor confirmed it. He also thinks that since this is the FOURTH time we've had this in just this year... that Zach is a candidate for surgery. He said he hasn't had to refer anyone in years... lucky us, huh?

He's running some blood work to rule out other things, like MONO. However, pending the outcome, it looks like my little man is going to have his first surgery. Gulp.

I know, I know... it's not life threatening. And in the long run he'll be in less pain... but I still don't like it.

John says we should be happy about the ice cream party we get afterward. (Maybe men do understand the therapeutic value in ice cream... )

Or maybe he's not the worry wart in the family.

 We had a little family Popsicle moment tonight... and that's always makes everything a little better. 

(And just a little shout out to the little man, aka Kyle Baer, he went #2 on the potty TWICE today! First time ever, and now he's a pro! I came into the bathrom, and he was putting the chair up on the seat, saying "I a beeg boy!" And just like that, he went 'poo'! I guess if I leave him alone, he'll just train himself!)

I think this picture of Zach sums it all up. Poor little guy. Like I said before - better getting them out now rather than later but I know how scary it is to think about a little one having surgery.

Way to go (pun intended) Kyle!!!!
