A Real Trooper

Here we are, at Primary Children's Hospital in Riverton, again. This time it was for surgery to remove Watson's adenoids and tonsils and insert ear tubes. He seemed to get this lingering cough for weeks and weeks at a time every few months. After about two years of Scott's urging, and Watson's decreasing ability to hear well, I took him to an ENT. The doctor recommended the surgery to help with Watson's whole ear, nose, throat situation. Watson was so brave and patient with the whole process. We talked about it for weeks and although he was nervous and a little scared, he bravely endured the whole thing. The recovery was rough, and painful. Watson ate a lot of slushies, Sprite, and Oreo ice cream. After about 11 days, he was feeling more like himself again. It is truly difficult to watch your child be in pain or discomfort. I'm grateful for the Lord's comfort during it all. They are His ultimately anyway.
