The Amazing Riley

Riley with his flowers sent from Great Grandma Shirley!

Just two days ago Riley had is tonsils out, and to be honest, he has been remarkable. His roughest time was waking up in the recovery room. After twenty minutes, he was doing well and has been doing better each minute that passes. Yesterday I couldn't keep him quiet or keep him from being as "bouncy" as he usually is. It is just amazing. In my day, kids were in the hospital for days. He has a sore throat but he never complains. I ask him and he tells me that it is sore. He has been hungry and has drank everything that I give him. I have to hide the pain killer meds in his apple juice. He is horrible about taking medicine.

Tonight he will get to see his kindergarten room and teacher at an open house. When we found out about the open house, I thought that he wouldn't be able to go, but after what I have seen these past two days, he will be alright to go for a little while. Below is a close up of the flowers that my mother sent. Mom, you always ask me what the florist has done, and here you can see them yourself. I told Riley he couldn't play with the truck but that he could keep it all his life in his room, office or den. He was happy just knowing it was his to keep.
