It's July 25th and I just sat down after checking on Tyler. He had his wisdom teeth removed this morning (around 1130). Everything went well, and he is finally asleep. He was lying in my bed (with icepack) half awake for the past hour... now, he's breathing funny and I keep going to check on him.
I really don't know what to say about it. I know I would be handle myself properly should he ever need any kind of serious medical attention... but I have to admit I was nervous a bit (primarily because of the anesthesia and it being his first time under and all). At any rate, I feel better now that he's home and I hope he has a speedy recovery. I made a follow up for him next Friday around 1545.
T turned 16 the other day. We didn't do anything exceptionally exciting. He got up and opened his present from Jess and then we went to iHop. He opened his present from me there and after we finished eating we went to see Dark Knight (awesome movie btw)! Then we came home and hung out just chatting and playing around and such.
Anyway, I really am having a difficult time knowing he only has two more years of school left. It's so overwhelmingly depressing knowing he's going to be going off to Ameri-Corps and then to university... Don't get me wrong- I LOVE watching him grow and I thoroughly enjoy having the conversations we do now and sharing what we can at his age... but I am definitely going to miss him.Nonetheless, I've got two more years until then... He's such a wonderful son and I am so very blessed to have him in my life. I love you son with all my heart and I am so very proud of you. Happy birthday and here's hoping you have a quick and painless recovery!
