Aug 2009

August was a pretty slow month so this will not be one of my mammoth posts like last month's. A lot happened in July OK! Anyway, about August.
David has been getting tonsillitis quite often for several years now. So finally he said enough, and scheduled to have a tonsillectomy. He was pretty nervous about the whole thing and it didn't help when he got on the Internet and started reading about all the horror stories. The surgery went well, but the trouble started when he began to wake up from anesthesia. He was having his surgery at a small hospital in Gothenburg, the surgery staff knew I worked in surgery so they let me come to the recovery room before David was awake. David had what they call Emergence Delirium. He woke up from anesthesia fighting and convulsing almost like a seizure. They ended up putting him back under and bringing him out very slowly. It was quite and experience seeing your husband react like that. The one who is always the strong one and the one who has it all together needing you to be the support. Thank God that was the only thing that was out of the ordinary. He spent one night in the hospital and the rest of the recovery was pretty normal. I am sure if you asked David he would give you a different story. He lived on Popsicles and Jello for three days and he lost 15 pounds in a week. He says it was worth it though, Thank goodness!

Devon got to see his first theater movie "UP" this month. It is so fun to be able to take the kids to a movie. Katherine just sits there and laughs at anything where someone gets hurt or trips or burps. I don' t know exactly what that means, but I don't think it is good:) Devon loved the theater, he was constantly making noises in reaction to what was happening on the screen. He was so cute, he was really into it. Of course, both kids agree, the best part of the movies...Popcorn and Coke of course!
