On Friday, June 11, Jake had his tonsils taken out. He had been getting strep pretty frequently and was to the point of a chronic sore throat. His tonsils were huge even when he wasn't sick! He did really well. When they took me back to the recovery room after the surgery, one of the nurses was feeding Jake a rootbeer slushie and the other was writing his "stats" down. Jake was sitting up with a smile on his face. One of the nurses looked at me and asked, "Can we keep him?" and then the other said, "Yes, can we keep him? He is the most adorable and pleasant patient we've ever had!" They proceeded to tell me how he had come out of the anesthetic "beautifully". They asked him when he was coming to, to tell them about himself and they said, "We learned his name is Jake Timm, he lives in Herriman and he plays football." Jake is such a great kid and he is super glad the surgery is over!!
