Zachary's tonsils










...are gone! After many episodes of strep throat, the ENT doctor decided that taking out his tonsils and adenoids would be the best plan. We are on post-op day four, and he's doing well! He is eating and drinking well, which can be quite a challenge for kids after a "T & A." Apparently, Zachary is taking advantage of the situation to indulge in fried shrimp and butterscotch milkshakes from Culvers, as well as carry-out pizza! (The picture is from Christmas morning when Zachary was enjoying a sweet roll.)

Lauren had a great time at preschool Thursday. They had a camping day, and were allowed to bring sleeping bags, tents, and flashlights. They also wore their pajamas! Lauren told us over and over the night before how excited she was to have her camping day. She thought her good friend Jacia would wear "adorable jammies." The day lived up to her expectations because the first thing she said when she came home was, "I had a fun day!" She said they ate S'mores, hot dogs, and chips.

(This is Lauren's recent cake decorating debut!)

David is currently doing the elliptical machine after our very large breakfast at the Flat Top Grill this morning. For those who are not familiar with this restaurant, Flat Top is a place where you create your own breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The lunch and dinner options are stir-fry. For breakfast, you can have pancakes with various mix-ins, customized omelettes, french toast with toppings, etc. It is delicious!! (http://www.flattopgrill.com/)

I am currently procrastinating because setting up this new blog is much more exciting than studying! I have one more week of clinical hours at ENT and then I will do psychiatry. I will wrap up the semester with some more family practice hours. Graduation is May 3!!

Stay warm, everyone!
Love, David, Michelle, Zachary & Lauren

I love your website/blog or whatever you call it. Glad to hear Zachary is recuperating well. Ethan recently had another case of strep, so we may be down the same path. Lauren has gotten so big. I still can't believe how blonde her beautiful hair is. Take care,
Dena and the Zied crew
