We decided that it was time for Jacob to have his tonsils removed because he wasn't breathing/sleeping well at night. Unfortunately, the best time to do this was Christmas vacation. So, in an effort to make his pain and recovery less boring, we let him have his Christmas present early -- an ipod touch! It is Ryan's old one (Ryan obviously didn't need it anymore since he got a new phone), but it's all Jacob really wanted! It came loaded with some great apps and space to get new ones.
The surgery went well and Jacob is recovering well despite being in a lot of pain. The new fleece BYU blanket I gave him and the ipod are helping to pass the time and ease the pain (i.e. get his mind off of pain). Jacob has watched all the episodes of Granite Flats and has been enjoying playing the games on his ipod.
Before his surgery, Mark asked one of Jacob's primary teachers, Rob Kirkham, to help him give Jacob a blessing. Rob has loved teaching Jacob in primary, and Jacob has loved having Rob as a teacher! When Mark & I thought to ask Rob to help, we both felt at peace. The blessing brought a lot of peace and comfort to Jacob as well, and promised him healing and recovery. I'm grateful for the priesthood and for good men who are worthy to use it to bless our family.
