Leo's surgery

It seems that Leo has been afflicted with the same enlarged tonsils and adenoids that Emma had. So at about the same age (three) he's now had his removed as it was causing him to gag on his food and to sleep fitfully, snoring more loudly than I do. He was very brave and good going into surgery as you can see - though he really did not like the hospital gown. But coming out he was terrible crying for hours. Where Emma's recovery was really quick Leo has had an uphill struggle which has included an infection. This has meant that the pain has not going away and ten day later he is still on painkillers and his second round of antibiotics. Spare us all a thought... though he is now distinctly on the mend.

Hhe doesn't look at all charmed with his very elegant gown. I agree with Stacie re the post-op pic and I can remember just how sore it all was. Hope he is 100% better now.

Shame, he does look so sore. All red in the face. Glad he is doing better now though.
