Tonsils are evil!

My boys have had so much trouble with their tonsils. 4 of the 5 have had them removed (as young as 3).  Ryan just had his removed last week and he has been so sad. But hopefully this will be the end to the repeat bouts of tonsillitis and strep that have plagued him for the past two years.  Today he seems to be doing a little better. He made it thru the night with out meds, and no tears. He is playing and eating more. I hope this is the beginning of a speedy recovery. I am missing his constant happy chatter.
