Jackson's Tonsils

Jackson had his tonsils removed yesterday.  They were continuously inflamed and when they were removed, they were infected.  Our pediatrician had previously joked that they were so big, we should give them names.  

According to Darren who took Jackson to TCH for the procedure, Jackson was a trooper.  He was a little grumpy coming out, but recovered well from the anesthesia.  After his required 2 hour wait in recovery, they were home by 2pm yesterday. 

Today, Jackson's a little less energetic than usual, but he seems to be healing remarkably well.  And although he's enjoying his jello and pudding, he seems to be tolerating more solid foods.  Very good news.

Our ENT has indicated that having the tonsils out should improve Jackson's breathing, his speech (not so nasally), and possibly even his sleep.  We have already noticed a change in Jackson's voice.  It is more crisp, a lot less nasally.  I wished I had taped his voice before, as now I can't even really remember what it sounded like, except that it was different.
