Please Observe a Moment of Silence…

… for my little Mack Attack’s (not so) dearly departed tonsils and adenoids. May they be safely and hygienically disposed of in a proper medical waste incinerator in peace.
ETA: Wow. We’re back already. I thought this would be an all-day thing, but here we are all tucked into bed watching SpongeBob. Well, she’s tucked. I’m tucking. And fussing. And shoving meds down her throat. And fussing some more. Basically doing the Momma Thing. Plus, cartoons? BONUS.
SpongeBob? Funny stuff.
I was shocked– shocked!– to discover they can flavor the knock-you-out-in-two-seconds-FLAT gas. Of course, the obvious choice today was bubble gum. I checked it out, you know, for scientific purposes. VERY cool. I personally think adults get the shaft with the whole put-the-IV-in-before-they-knock-you-out thing.
Despite the fact that someone just cut overlarge masses of lymphoid tissue out of her throat, she’s more concerned about the killer IV binding. “Hey… why is there BLOOD in the tube?!…”
This is TGIM “helping.” Totally “paying attention.” Really “being there” for his daughter. (Sudoku. It’s a sickness, y’all.)
………………..amen.
Rest in peace, adenoids and friends.
We toast them with ice cream, clinking our spoons together. Requiescat en pace (Latin for “No school for a week”)
……
Moment observed!
Now let the offerings of ice-cream to the Spirit of Painlessness commence.
Nilbo,
Toasted adenoids and tonsils with ice cream sounds gross. Ick!
May he milk it for all it is worth.
I’m glad everything went well! Ice cream and jello for everyone!
::bowing head respectfully::
Totally right, OddMix. Should have gone with some sort of flambe …
I hope that she continues to feel well. Ice cream and Sponge Bob? BONUS!
(PS - the CURLS!)
SUDOKU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!!
::slaps own face:: OK, I am under control. And yes, it is a sickness.
Get better fast, Mack!
Awwww, look at the totally cute smiling face before ……. she’s a brave girl. I was supposed to have my tonsils out when I was a kid but I chickened out. Now they’ve just shriveled up I think.
Sending you get well vibes Mack!!
yay it went well!
tgim’s curls are pretty!
In my limited experience (3 babies delivered the good old fashioned way, plus watching my little one with the tonsils) the IV is the worst part. And I had one SPURT blood after they took it out. EEK! So glad all is well at the Cat House (hahaha).
TGIM is pretty. Not just his curls. And I am loving his outfit. (Clothing ensemble? What do men call it?)
Glad little girl Mack is doing well. Getting full-fledged Momma Fussing is always the best part of recovery.
It’s TOTALLY a sickness! I carry a book of Sudoku puzzles in my purse, for any spare moment (of which there are few).
awww. we lil’ one looks all icky sad in the second shot.
*HUGS FROM CALIFORNIA!*
“Outfit”? “Clothing ensemble”? Yeah, men call it that. When they’re Richard Simmons.
Guys call what he’s wearing “clothes”.
Oh, and “pretty”? Again, Richard Simmons.
God.
Yeah, Nilbo’s just pouting because I called TGIM pretty. Now that he’s “Kelly’s Nilbo”, he’s got this jealousy thing going on…
poor baby…hope she’s enjoying all the Momma Fussing….
Poor little Mack. I hope she’s feeling better very soon.
oh the mamma fussing! Best part.
Hope she gets to try every ice cream flavor in the store!
Feel better little one!
And the IV…yeah, the worst.
oooh…you just called him “Kelly’s Nilbo”….
CAT FIGHT!!
