Surgery Went Well...

Olivias tonsil and adnoid surgery went very well yesterday. She was a little nauseated after the surgery and complained of a bad headache, but all in all she did an excellent job. Today, she woke up with a terrible sore throat, but she said she felt alot better than yesterday. She ate a whole can of chicken soup and some jell-o. She is drinking tons of water and Sierra Mist, which is good on the throat.

I am a little shocked, she is up and around more than what I thought she would be. I'm thinking she might be alittle stir crazy already, since she missed about the whole week of school last week from strep throat. I am glad shes a good student and picks up on things easily, or she would be soooo behind in school. She already is, but she will get it made up eventually with no problem. (Hopefully)

We had a blast this Halloween!! We actually carved a pumpkin, it was a vampire pumpkin. Trevor got bored and grossed out by the inside, so he was done with it in about a minute. Eric helped and had a good time. We actually handed out candy this year also, the neighborhood we are in now has tons of kids. The bummer part was most of the people were out the day before Halloween and that is when we went trick-or-treating. Halloween night in our neighborhood was kind of dead. The kids did see some of their friends and I think they had a good time, but next year we will have to hand out the day before and go trick-or-treating on Halloween.

Liz was a Colts fan, Eric was a cop, Trev was a bloody ghoal/vampire, and I was the grim reaper. Ray didn't dress up the first night. I actually dressed up for work in the grim reaper costume and freaked out a number of people. Poor Olivia couldn't go out either days because she was sick with strep. I felt bad, because she was suppose to dress up with a friend and go out. Yes, I still dress up and my two teenage daughter do too. Some people have concerns about it, but I say your only young once. The girls are polite when they go up to the door and they are good role models to the younger kids that go with us. I don't go up to the door, but I have fun dressing up. We went with our friends and their kids. They loved that we were dressed up. I bought them all glow sticks to put around their necks, wrists, or shoes.
