An excuse for more ice-cream and popsicles

My baby boy needs surgery! :(

We went to the ENT the other day, and apparently Matthew's tonsils are "huge" (exactly what the doctor said) and are taking up just over half his airway. His adnoids are big too and need to come out as well, in addition to having something in his nasal passage cauterized (I think. It's somewhere in there anyways). We're still waiting for the secretary to come back to work (on sick leave due to a slipped disk) so we can book the surgery.

The doctor said this will help his immune system become stronger, because he'll be able to breathe better, eat more, and grow more. I'm like WHAT???? This kid already eats like a horse and is a smidge taller than his almost-5-yr-old friend Avery! We'll need to take out a 2nd mortgage just to pay for the food if that happens!

On the plus side though, he hopefully won't be sick every 2 weeks this year and if he does go through a growth spurt, then maybe his pants will start fitting better; he has no belly to hold them up (don't know where he got that from cuz it certainly ain't from his parents!).
