The little guy had his surgery this morning and since has done nothing but sleep with an occasional tearful waking up to drink some very watered milk. He is a milkaholic but they prefer that he doesnt have milk after a tonsillectomy, so we are just giving him very watered milk. He is a bit confused still and in a pain and tearful so its very hard to just say totally no and he wont accept anything other than his milk. We put his pain meds in it so I'm hoping next time he wakes up he will be feeling a bit better.
I'm going to be volunteering at the zoo soon. Monday I go get fingerprinted for the position. I will be feeding and caring for the animals which include two bears and a young mountain lion, bobcats, racoons, foxes, emu's etc etc etc. I'm hoping that as it will be working with the animals instead of the people I will be able to manage one day a week. It would be nice to feel as if I am doing something that matters somehow. I know taking care of my grandson matters but ......... it would be good to get out of the house and probably good for my self esteem to do something useful.

So he seemingly can recover according to plan, let's hope that it heals all properly.
I hope that working at the zoo will give you a good feeling. Do me a favour and don't end as bear-food.
glad all went well with your grand baby hope he is feeling better tomorrow....tell him in the next box we will send more candy :P lol
Glad to hear it went well for the little guy. I hope he's feeling better today.
Getting out of the house would no doubt be good for your self-esteem. My therapist flips if I don't get out daily -- for good reason as I feel rotten if I don't get out at least to the post office or something. The Zoo sounds like a lot of fun. Good for you :)
Hope the zoo experience turns out to be a good one. Good luck!
Give the little one a hug from me. the zoo thing sounds so exciting. good luck.
Hope your grandson is doing good. Just remember when you feed the animals it is not supposed to be YOU feeding the animals. Keep track of your fingers and toes.
Have a great Thanksgiving.
Glad your grand is doing well. OH I'm soooooo jealous we don't live close enough to a zoo to volunteer but kido and I use to do some with the local animal rescue but don't have time now for it. Have fun with it.
I am so happy that the little guy could have his surgery and should be well on his way to better by now. :)
It is so exciting that you are going to volunteer at the zoo! Awesome...
Happy Thanksgiving. Hugs.
Glad to hear about the zoo and sorry your grandson had to go through this. Hope he is doing okay. Also I am sorry to have been a bad friend and unavailable for quite some time.
Happy Thanksgiving Raine.
