Brant's Spring Break and Surgery

Brant was scheduled to have his tonsils removed during Spring Break. The Tuesday before his surgery, we planned a fun day. His dad took him to the skating ramps at Propst Park to ride his scooter and to practice baseball. We then took him to the store to pick out favorite after surgery foods. He chose his favorite restaurant to eat lunch - Mi Toros! Then, we went to see Alice in Wonderland. Later that evening, both Brant and Bryan headed to a Wild Game Supper at church. Wednesday was his scheduled surgery. We had to be at the hospital at 6 am (UGH!) Brant was a little nervous, but did awesome. He was the second scheduled surgery. His surgery started about 8:15 and was over around 8:40. He was back in the room a little before 9. After his surgery, he was upset. He kept saying he wanted his tonsils back! He calmed down and then ate around 4 or 5 popsicles and later on, 3 cups of vanilla ice cream. We were able to leave the hospital around 12:30 and were home by 12:45. The nurse let him ride in the wheel chair downstairs - he totally enjoyed that. I am so proud of him throughout this whole process. He did so great!
