T & A

Tonsils and Adenoids of course! Spencer will be getting his out on October 8th! I had to make the appointment for the Wednesday before Fall Break because he has to be out of commission for 10 days and this way he'll only miss 3 days of school. He was all mad about his Fall Break being messed up--but when I told him it was this or Christmas, he caved. We've known for a long time he has issues with his breathing--I even took him to a doctor in AZ for it but when said doctor told me it was my choice whether he had the surgery or not, I summoned all my medical expertise (nada) and decided any doctor who would ask the opinion of an idiot (myself) whether to do surgery or not was an even bigger idiot and I could not risk him operating on my son. I only had to spend one night with Spencer in my room when we moved out here and that was enough (all five minutes before I made Jer take him out--don't worry, we were at Aunt Ginny's house and she let him sleep downstairs in her sitting room). How Jer, Ron and the boys got any sleep that whole trip is beyond me. Jer's advice to me when I first starting complaining about him that night was --"Fall asleep really fast, then you won't notice it". Really? Who wouldn't notice a jetliner landing in their room in the middle of the night? Hopefully the little guy will finally know a good night's sleep soon.
