Tonsils and Adnoids
 

My son just came out of surgery from getting his tonsil and adnoids taken out. This is a pretty simple procedure, but let me tell you.............He is NOT a happy camper right now. I just feel helpless, cuz I cant do anything to help him. These are they things nobody tells us about when having kids. I was not prepared to feel this helpless for my little man. :(

My mom is having her tonsils removed tomorrow morning.

Been there with my son although, it was tubes in his ears and adenoids. Threw up all over me when he was comin to! Not a good feeling either! LOL

I can tell you though, they bounce back quick!

ice cream lots and lots of good ice cream!!!

first we gotta get him to drink something

off topic but everything going good with the one on the way?

Yep I for got to mention on here.............We will be having another little fisherman. We found out its going to be a boy!!

Sweet man, congrats! We find out what we're having in a few weeks, hoping for a boy but as long as it's healthy I could care less what it is.

congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

congrats

That's fantastic!!! And a boy on top of it!!!!

i had mine out when i was younger... it doesnt take long after you realize ou can have all the icecream you want to feel better

BAYSLAYER, take care of the lil saints fan and may he get well soon.

Ouch!!!

OHHHHHHH..........you S.O.B. LOL

I already got him on the right track;)

How's your little man doin today?

probably going to be worse today than yesterday. We cant get him to swallow anything, which would make him feel better if he would. I think it hurts him so bad he is scared to swallow. Its a chore just to get him to take his medicine. But hopefully we can get him to start drinking some fluids today.

Yea fluids is the key. It keeps everything soft and moist. I was lucky. I ate like 3 Popsicles in recovery and just kept eating them and drinking constantly. After day 2 or 3 I stopped taking pain meds. When I went for my one week check up the doc asked if I needed more pain meds and was amazed when I said I hadn't taken any in like 4 or 5 days. Soo moral of the story is drink lots of fluids and Popsicles and keep things loose

Always always always tell the "yes, I need more pain meds"
