Just an update, son is still slightly swollen, but not bad, and he did go to school today. He has finals tomorrow, so studying this weekend wasn't much fun, but just another character builder to help prepare him for what lies ahead.
FYI, hubs had his taken out his Junior year at USAFA. Aside from the fact that they didn't give him any sedation other than local novacaine, he said it wasn't that bad, and didn't have a problem catching up with academics. I think they pulled his on a Friday.
