Boston's Surgery

Back in June, Boston got his tonsils taken out. We had not had any problems with them but they were huge. I had first noticed them back in December when I was brushing his teeth. We went to the ENT and he said they were big but like not quite big enough to remove. So we set up a follow up appt. in April to have one more check. This time they were even bigger. They were just about touching in the middle. So they said this time that they did need to come out.
We went in in the morning and waited for our turn. When they were just about ready to take him they gave him some Versed to calm him down. When they went to take him he wasn't hysterical or anything like I expected but he did cry for me to stay with him. It was a little heart breaking and I may have cried just a little. When they brought him back from recovery he was kind of awake and just crawled into my arms where I held him for about two hours. He just kept on sleeping. Finally maybe three hours after he had come back we got him to wake up enough to eat some ice cream and drink some juice and they let us go. He was so good the whole time. I don't think he even cried at all except for the part when they were taking him. He was so glad to be home. This is the first time that him and Preston had really ever been away from each other for a long period of time. They were so happy to see each other. Boston wanted Preston by his side for everything and Preston catered to everything Boston wanted or needed. That night they went out to throw some water balloons together and while they were waiting for me to fill them up Boston was just sitting there rubbing Preston's head so happy to be with them. I love that they love each other so much. We were so blessed. Boston did not have any problems while healing and was up and at it in days.
Here is Boston and Gary while we were waiting for Boston to be taken back.
