Post operative pain is not cool. My poor son, he's having a rough time. It's hard to see your kids in any kind of distress. Please keep him in your thoughts, folks. Prayers and good vibes are appreciated.

As parents, we always wish we had magic powers to heal all wounds and erase all pain. When my kids were really little, I used to wish I could just be sick for them. It didn't seem fair to me that these little people had to feel badly. I was bigger and stronger, so let me do it, instead.

I guess that feeling doesn't go away once they're grown. I don't want my "little boy" to feel badly. I hope he gets a good night's sleep and feels better in the morning.
