Theron's surgery

Here he is right after surgery. He was pretty groggy but still alert enough to smile for a picture!When I brought him home Nathan was so concerned about his owie. He climbed up on the table and stared at his dad all night and kept saying "ohh..dad owie!" He had a tube coming out of his neck that drained all of the blood and saliva in for 3 days and that kept Nathan intrigued!This is what Theron had to keep around his head to try to keep the swelling down...kind of scary!

As you can see, it didn't really work. He was so swollen for atleast 5 days.This picture was taken tonight, he is still swollen. The scar isn't as bad as we thought it would be. He is still the cutest ever!

He goes to the doctor again next week and if the swelling is still there he will most likely have to have a drain put in again. We'll see what happens!

Thank you so much to all those that helped with dinners and watching our kids. We were so blessed. And a very special thank you to our "Manny", my brother Jon, that went out of his way to get my mind off of things when Theron was in surgery and taking me to eat, and for coming and checking on his patient. If you ever need a manny it just takes one call that's all:

haha, you guys are so funny.
I love how Theron is such a happy guy, in the hospital after surgery and still smiling.

We will keep up the prayers so that Theron won't have to get another drainage tube in.

Well, on the bright side, Theron won't have to dress up this Halloween...he already has a really cool scar and could go as Frankenstein. But remember to be careful out there cuz chicks really dig scars!! Seriously though, I pray that you are feeling better. You are in our prayers and love you guys.
