Surgery Went Well!
Aug 7th, 2008 by michelle
The surgery went well this morning and we came home only a few hours afterwards. He had both his tonsils and adenoids removed and is doing really well. The worst part was when we could all hear him screaming down the hallway, but we weren’t allowed to see him yet. Fortunately, as soon as Mommy arrived and held him, he stopped crying and went back to sleep.
Waiting to See the Doctor- Look at that sad face!
We are actually shocked at how much energy he has now- and his appetite! He is only supposed to be drinking or eating really soft foods, but at lunch, he snuck a hashbrown and scarfed it!
He has also become REALLY bossy. He was crying at the hospital and when Nathaniel went to wipe his eyes, he said, “No Daddy! MY eyes!” Then we were got home, he said, “Daddy! Movie! Now!” It is really funny because we are not used to him being this way.
Waiting to go into Surgery and After
We will be taking it very easy for the next week or so. We anticipate that things will get worse before they get better. But we have lots of ice pops on hand to keep David happy.
Thanks for everyone’s support!
What an adorable little boy!!
So pleased he’s so full of energy and appetite, just as any little boy ought to be.
Here’s a kiss for you to give him from me. 0
I’m so glad everything went well.
Whew! I’m so glad to hear. Continued prayers.
Thanks for the update and I’m glad it went well.
Oh, I’m so glad that it went well. Glory to God!
Those pictures, particularly the sad faced one, are heart warming.
I haven’t yet had a chance to thank you for visiting my blog, but I want you to know that I appreciate your comments. See you around.
My daughter had the same surgery 3 weeks ago and it never got bad!! We let her chew gum whenever she wanted and that helped a ton. Good luck in the next few days!! P.S. I thought we’d stay home for a week, too, and my daughter was bored out of her mind and wanted play dates… so that’s what we did.
