The Good Patients!

This was later tonight....things started going downhill...but isn't he sweet!
Rachel was hurting more tonight but still reading away! By bedtime she said it was worse....and they say days 3 thru 5 are the worst.......
And this was early in the day!
They are both doing pretty good today. Last night the pain increased in the evening and we broke into the tylenol with codeine a couple times but today they have only had tylenol. (we have to give it to them around the clock for the first five days) Probably not drinking as much today but we are trying to force a little. Rachel gagged on some pills this morning but other than that...thank goodness there hasn't been much nausea. Kinda up and down as they told us it would be. As you can see in this picture...Ben is in charge of the remote....lol! They are on the couch watching "Magic School Bus." Rachel got her hair cut off (3 or 4 inches) the night before the surgery. It is really cute.
Molly just got back and was she ever so glad to see them as they were her. But she keeps asking Ben if he is happy? She doesn't quite understand...but was thrilled when Trevor was bringing her home and she says, "Daddy, we almost to the hospital now?" He says, "honey, we are almost home. Ben and Ray Ray are already home" and then he here's this...."Oh Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!"
Keep praying!

I'm so glad the surgeries went well and I hate they are in pain! I know it will be worth it next strep season! They are such little troopers.

We sold the house! I'll call you on the way to the beach!!
