On the sofa recovering and these are a few of my views

Reuben: 5 days after the operation

Reuben had his tonsils and adenoids out and grommets in.

He woke up with a nightmare and full of nerves ahead of the operation.

The consultant spoke with us and said the major aspect to this operation is the aftercare and to keep him loved and dosed up. Others who also had their children go through this and said they were told two weeks and it's at least that possibly more like three.

Five days on. I have been sleeping in a combination of Caleb and Joshie's beds and Reuben continues to heal. It's been pretty tough for the little guy. He's generally sad with a few moments of being back to the old Reuben. Those moments are increasing.
