Adios, tonsils

Breakfast of champions!  All the clear "foods" Max could eat before 9am

Kira munched on grapes while Max was still excited about his jello-only diet



The morning commute was exhausting

"This is my tunnel mouth doctor!"


Max put strawberry Chapstick in his mask to make it smell better.

Doctor dress-up

Let's see those tonsils one more time

All done!  Despite his open eyes, Max was fast asleep in recovery.  In fact, his eye lids were taped shut during the surgery because they were so open.  The doctor said that it is not uncommon to tape kids' eyes shut during operations, but that Max's wide open eyes were a bit unusual.

Chocolate pudding for the road, and for dinner and dessert.  Max loved the wheel chair and begged to take it home.  It was actually much easier to push than the stroller, but we could not fit it in the trunk.

Max is supposed to refrain from running and jumping for two weeks.  He could not go two minutes without doing either of those things.  Here, he is protesting his orders to stop running up and down "the court".
