(guitar music)
Good morning everyone.
Today is sort of a pajama, lying in the house,
recover from surgery sort of day.
And so, our house, has turned into this.
Basically, we pulled all the couches around,
made a giant bed,
have movies going on the projector, all day.
And we're just taking it easy for now.
Parker is not feeling as well as he was, yesterday.
What's going on, buddy?
- I just don't feel well.
- [Dad] You don't feel well?
- Nope, and number eight.
- [Dad] You just going straight into advent, huh?
Yeah, we're a little behind.
We got two days to do.
You're opening ten right now?
- Another present.
- [Dad] Another present?
A gift?
- Oh!
It's a--
It's a longer one, though.
- [Dad] Oo, a long little gift.
Okay.
And you're gonna open up 11?
- I hope this is the Exercise Grinch.
It's a different Grinch!
It wasn't the Exercise one.
It was the different one.
- [Dad] There's an Exercise Grinch?
And you're really excited about that one?
Hey Parker, have you been eating lots of popsicles?
- Mm-hm and ice cream.
- [Dad] And jello?
- Yeah, on recovery.
- [Dad] On recovery.
- You just gotta recover and have a hard day, 'cause...
No, for me it's gonna be hard because, my throat hurts.
- [Dad] How about you?
- I'm having a good day.
I'm ready to open this.
- [Dad] Number 10, lots of pieces in there.
11.
- [Older Son] Oo, seven pieces!
- [Dad] Oo, that actually has a lot
of little pieces in there.
Alright, I'll leave you to your bills.
And now, Miss. Bailey.
(Christmas music)
- Wow!
(Christmas Music)
- [Bailey] Wow.
- [Dad] Wow, Bailey, that's charming.
- Mm-hm.
- Duncan's upstairs, taking his nap, as usual.
So, we'll open his later.
And we're just gonna have a really nice, relaxing day today.
So, I'm glad you're here to join us, with that.
Keep us company.
What is that, what does that do?
- Ball!
- [Dad] It's got a ball?
- Ball.
- [Dad] Oh, how does it work?
How does it work?
(mumbles)
- Look!
- [Dad] Look?
- Yeah.
- [Dad] Ah.
(pop)
- [Dad] Whoa!
- Ah!
- [Dad] It's not working?
I'll try again.
Try it now.
No?
(pop)
(grunt)
(giggles)
(pop)
(mumbles)
- [Dad] Where did it go?
Is it under the trampoline?
Whoa!
How ya doing, Parker?
Oh no!
Day two's not treating you well?
What have you done today?
- Watch movies.
- Just watch movies?
- Ate ice cream.
- You ate ice cream?
- What kind of movies have you been watching?
- Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
- Mickey Mouse Club House?
- Goofy's Funny Short Films.
- Yeah, our kids like the old Goofy cartoons.
You like the old Goofy cartoons?
They're pretty silly.
Have you only been having ice cream
or did you have something else, too?
- Jello.
- Jello?
- And gum.
- And gum, you've been chewing gum?
- And soup.
- What kind of soup?
- Miso.
- Yeah, we found Miso broth at the store.
And it's not, it doesn't have tofu or seaweed in it,
it's just the broth.
And that seemed to help you a little bit, right?
So, we've mainly just let him sit here
and think or watch movies.
Have you done any drawing, today?
No?
We're just kinda giving him a break.
He hasn't done any schoolwork, today.
He's just been sorta hanging out.
What do you remember about yesterday?
- I got my tonsils out.
- Do you remember going into the operating room?
- Mm-hm.
- What did that look like?
- A big room.
It looked like the dentist room I go in,
but it was painted white.
- It was like the dentist, but painted white?
- Mm-hm.
- Were you scared?
- No.
- Was everybody super friendly?
What was the last thing you remember before going to sleep?
- Blowing up a balloon.
- A balloon?
- Blowing up one from a tube.
- Did you breathe in the balloon, too?
You did?
(laughs)
Why is that so funny?
- 'Cause I just think it's funny.
- It's funny to breathe in the balloon?
- Mm-hm.
- Do you remember anything
being kind of funny or strange?
- No.
- [Dad] Do you remember seeing double?
Do you remember seeing two of things?
- Mm-hm.
- [Dad] You do?
Was that kinda strange?
Was there anything else like that, that happened?
No?
How does your throat feel, today?
- Not good.
- Not good?
Does it hurt to eat?
- No, it hurts to swallow and yawn.
- It hurts to swallow and yawn.
- Mm-hm.
- Does it hurt to talk?
I'm sorry.
Do you wanna stop talking and do thumps up and thumbs down?
- Okay, did you sleep well last night?
Did you wake up at all?
In the middle of the night?
Do you remember daddy waking you up to take more Tylenol?
You do remember it?
You don't remember that?
I woke you up and I gave you some Tylenol.
So Parker's under doctor's orders to have Tylenol,
around the clock.
So, I've been giving him children's Tylenol.
We're just trying to stay on top of pain,
so he has the recommended dosage, every time he can have it.
He'll do that probably, I think until tomorrow
and then it's sort of as needed.
So, Parker made a special request to have his tonsils.
He wanted to keep his tonsils,
and what did you wanna do with them?
Did you want to make a necklace out of them?
No.
Did you wanna keep them in a jar, on a shelf?
No.
Did you wanna hang them over your bed?
(laughing)
So that's what he wanted to do.
So, we asked for the tonsils and they said no.
But they said, we'll keep them around,
so that you can see them, afterward.
So we got to see his tonsils and his adenoids,
and they kept them in these little jars,
and if you're interested in the kind of stuff,
you can watch yesterday's vlog because we show it there.
Did you like seeing your tonsils?
Did you think it was gross seeing your tonsils?
You did think it was gross?
Kind of.
One of these.
Do you remember, how long you're not allowed
to do gymnastics, for?
Do you remember?
Thumbs up or thumbs down.
You do remember?
Is it one day?
Thumbs down?
Is it two days?
Is it three days?
Is it a week?
One week?
No.
Two weeks?
Two weeks.
So, Parker is not allowed to do a cartwheel for two weeks.
How do you feel about that?
Thumbs down?
Thumbs down.
There's one thing I know about Parker,
is that he loves doing cartwheels
and he does them constantly,
and I think this is the longest
I've ever seen him not do a cartwheel,
is the last two days.
Is that the hardest part about the tonsils?
Or is it having a sore throat?
Sore throat?
So a sore throat is worse than
not being able to do the gymnastics.
The good news is that everything's healing
and you don't have a fever or anything like that.
Have you noticed that your voice sounds different?
You haven't noticed it?
Have other people told you that your voice?
But you can't hear it?
You can't hear it?
When you saw it in the video,
did you like your new voice?
'Cause you watched the video,
from yesterday.
Did you notice the difference,
when you were listening to yourself?
Thumbs up or thumbs down, no?
You didn't even notice the difference?
Well, I think that your voice sounds lovely,
just so you know.
And I love you.
And I love what you have to say.
And I can't wait 'til you're feeling better to talk again.
And I'm glad we know how to do thumbs ups and thumbs downs,
so you don't have to talk too much.
Do you like doing thumbs ups and thumbs downs?
Something came in the mail, the other day.
That I've been very eager to try.
And Bailey prepped these and we're gonna see if they worked.
These, are zombie popsicles.
So, there's a zombie, there's a zombie,
there's a zombie and there's a zombie.
Which one do you wanna try?
Overalls?
- [Parker] They're not ready.
- No, they are.
Oh my goodness!
That is awesome!
Look at how awesome that is!
Look at that zombie!
That's totally a zombie!
Here you go, you can eat them.
Eat the zombie 'cause I want to show them what happens,
when you eat the whole zombie.
Don't tell them the secret.
- Okay, I won't.
- Don't tell them.
- Okay.
- Make sure it stays a secret.
- Okay.
- His brain is messed up.
- [Dad] Alright, what's the secret?
What's the secret with these popsicles?
What is going? - Skeleton.
(laughs)
- [Dad] That is so funny.
There's a little ribcage inside there.
You found his skeleton!
(laughs)
