Today was a bad day. Breckin was not feeling well today. I think his throat hurt a bit more today than yesterday because he had fewer pain killers. Arwyn woke up on the wrong side of the bed and was cranky from the start. Throwing fits and all. Breckin woke up in the middle of [...]

This morning we woke up bright and early to take Breckin to the outpatient surgery center where he would have his tonsils removed. The anesthesiologist and surgeon were truly very wonderful and kind. Breckin was not a fan of being there at first, but eventually relaxed a little. We waited in the pre-op area for [...]

I recently posted about Breckin’s inability to gain weight over the last year. This is probably aggravated by the fact that he has never really been fond of eating.
