Taking the Bounce out of Tigger


Andrew and Kathlena watching "The Adventures of Winnie
the Pooh" one of their favorites. They are cuddled up in
the blanket Emily knitted for Andrew.

Well I have to admit I am feeling a bit like Rabbit. Andrew is doing very well, but keeping him from bouncing around...well, is a challenge. Bouncy, trouncy Andrew is the norm so post surgery no bouncy, trouncy is less than desirable for our little Tigger.

He is feeling pretty good today, but has mentioned he is having some eye pain and when we use the drops it is stinging now. I am thinking this is a sign of healing and a good thing, but not pleasant. His bottom eye lid looks more swollen to me, but then puffy eyes are to be expected. I have always been told that for some reason the 2nd-3rd day post op is sometimes the hardest days. I am not sure if that is because of the healing process or if it is that the body has completely gotten rid of all the anesthesia by then. At any rate we are taking it easy today. I wanted Andrew to rest so that we could all go to Emily and J.Michael's piano recital tonight.

Emily and J.Michael went blueberry picking with the Hoods today. I am sure we will have pictures to post of this too.

TTFN for you Winnie the Pooh fans!
