    I would let him play to be honest. I can still remember when I had my tonsils and adnoids taken out (I was 6) and for the 1st day I was a bit cranky etc but then after that fit as a fiddle lol! Maybe just watch the weather, if it's cloudy or wet I wouldn't let him play outside or in the wind!xx

    I cannot believe how quickly he has bounced back. What a little star. I wouldn't think that a little gentle play would hurt anything.

    I would let him play, but make sure you also make him rest. Either take a nap or go to his room for a little quiet time. Make sure he gets plenty of fluids and tylenol if he needs it. But I think as long as he isn't having the WWE in your living room he should be fine!

    I think he is fine to play. I would limit his running, jumping, hard play, etc. for a couple of days longer. Nothing that has him breathing heavy.

    I agree.. I'd let him play but just try to limit how rough it is.. you don't want to dislodge any stitching!! Glad he is doing so well Robin!! Been thinking of you 2!

    I agree with the other girls I'd let him play as long as he wants he'll slow down when he's tired!
