45 minutes, plus a couple hours of recovery. Its finally done and over with. Goodbye tonsils and adenoids and welcome better breathing and no throat issues. He is going to feel like a new boy. No more constant nose congestion and no more constant throat pain (like strep). The poor boys adenoids were so large that it blocked 3/4ths of his nasal passages and stuff. And his tonsils were big and ugly (touching like usual), same old same old.
The dr had been using something new, instead of doing it the usual electrical way. He is using a new knife the reduces the pain level, more better than the other. He was his 8th patient and so far so good.
His recovery was okay. A little nausea/vomiting, but was good to go afterwards. He has been sleepy with water and popsicles today. Foods start tomorrow and he cant wait. He sooooo wanted mashed potatoes and Rice Krispies. Pain level is good. Just a itty bitty bit he says (uses his fingers to show).
His is sleeping SOUNDLY (no snoring, yay) for the first time in years. The humidifier we got too is helping as well.
Meds...he is our lil druggie. A HUGE bottle, with a large bottle on the side (since they didn't have a big enough bottle for it all), of Tylenol w/Codeine and also Amox.
School...the earliest to go back is Monday. But NO Phy Ed or Recess for at least 2 weeks. One bummed out boy.
