Ian's had his Tonsils out!
On Monday Ian went into surgery and had both his tonsils and adenoids taken out. It was a simple, quick and successful procedure and Ian was home in no time at all. Recovery has been difficult though as Ian has been a stubborn patient, refusing to take his medicine! Hours of persuasion later and we've made progress as has Ian's recovery with today seeing him starting to get back to his old self, poor thing! In our photo's we see Ian getting ready for surgery and afterwards being comforted by Mom in the recovery ward.
