Quick....

Just a quick little note, to let you know that Jonah's surgery went just fine yesterday! He really wanted Dad to be with him, so Jeremy took the day off of school, to be there with him! He went in at about 8:30am, and was out of surgery no later than 10am. He had a really hard time waking up though, so they didn't leave the hospital until 1pm. He just slept and slept, and of course, that is the best thing for him. I took the 2 other boys out of school @ noon, so we could go to Fergus and pick them up. Jeremy had a game last night, so we hung out at Grandma and Grandpa's for a few hours ( just so Jonah could lay low, before driving to Ashby), and Grandma made us all a great supper! He actually ate really well yesterday ( 4 little cups of pudding, and some pasta), and wasn't in that much pain. This morning, he woke up, hurting quite a bit! But I had a really hard time getting him up to take his meds, in the middle of the night, so he was behind. If we keep on top of those, today, he should be okay! He can't eat anything real solid, for 2 weeks, until the scars in his throat heal....so we will see how that goes?!? He can have things like mac-n-cheese, and pasta, and potatoes. He has been a tough little boy, and has no problem staying home, and hanging out with Sophie! We will see how restless he gets by Friday! Thank you all for thinking and praying for him, we are excited to see if this works for him!

An Early Birthday Present!

Happy early Birthday Jonah!!
Jonah got his wish, on Saturday.....he got his birthday present early, from us and my mom and dad! We went to check costs out on Sat. in Alexandria, and of course, he loved this cute little one. We were going to wait until his b-day to do this, but he has surgery tomorrow morning, and has been really worried about it, so we broke down and got her early! He is getting his adenoids and tonsils out tomorrow at 8am, a same day surgery. He has been snoring at night, so loud, nobody has been able to sleep in the same room as him! I looked to see if that was normal, and of course, they said no. So we got him a Dr. appointment, and they said that he had sleep apnea, and his tonsils and adenoids were huge. They were actually ready to do the surgery the next day, but I said that I needed a little bit of time. This should clear up his breathing problems, which will be so great, cause it was starting to affect his school day! So he will be happy to come home to his little friend!

Jonah has been wanting a pet, forever!!! He just loves the idea of a pet, and really wanted a dog, but we decided that it was best, not to go that route. The idea of a dog, for three boys, was really tempting, but it would be just too much work for our family. So we decided to go with "Sophie" the guinea pig. She is only 6 months old, and is really great with the boys. She just lets them hold her, whenever. She has been a little scared of all of the activity around her, but I'm sure she will get use to it. Jonah has been holding her as much as possible, and she seems to really like him. She will even make a little purring sound, usually after Jonah gets her little house all set, and she gets all settled. He thinks she is saying "thank-you", so he tells her "you're welcome"!! It's pretty cute!

Miss Sophie.... we actually have another girl in the family!! I am still pretty out numbered though! The pet store said the the girls were more mellow, and she is that. She has never nibbled on fingers, or been a problem at all. The boys think it's fun to help out with the cleaning now....hopefully that will last!

She is so pretty, and loves to hang out in her little wood box!
