First, I want to extend my apologies and sincerest thanks to yahell support who totally fixed my SQL account!  They sent me the instructions, but I kept getting the permissions error. So I sent them my info and they fixed it for me.  Quickly.  So the blog and website are all back to normal.  *whew*  I guess I can take my finger off the delete button.

The Day After Tonsillectomy….

MM slept from 10:30p.m. to 7:30a.m. waking up only once that I know of.  She crawled into bed with us sometime after midnight, and I asked her then if her throat hurt.  Nope.  But when she woke up this morning, we were back to tears and coughing and struggling to get anything down.  We started with a little popsickle again, alternating with ice water, until she could swallow medicine.  She wanted something to eat but nothing really tasted right, as evidenced by the opened and uneaten cartons of tapioca pudding, Scooby Doo applesauce, and orange/mango applesauce.  She finally settled on a piece of colby cheese.  I told her:  no more cheese until she eats some applesauce.  Combined with the codeine, she could be seriously constipated!

So we’re up bright and early watching Dora, Go Diego Go, Wonder Pets and Backyardigans.  While I do dishes and laundry.  Woo-hoo!

I’m going to try and write a little in between loads.  I just couldn’t get my brain around words the last two days.
