Tonsils and Adenoids come out for Christmas

On Tuesday Nathan was scheduled to have his adenoids removed, after talking with the Doc. we decided to consent for the removal of his tonsils as well if need be....needless to say the Doc. was very glad we okayed it because they were FULL of infection.
Dad helping him get his little surgical Jammie's on.
Heading off to the O.R.
Back in his room after surgery, he had the best nurses, they were so nice to him!
Breathing in a little oxygen while recouping before we head home. Surgery was at 7 am and we left about 11 am. Now he is home recouping during Christmas break, his throat will be very sore for the next 2-3 weeks while he heals. He gets to eat lots of Popsicles, sherbet, anything cold or soft.

Glad it went well. I got my tonsils and adenoids out during Summer break in between my 2nd and 3rd grade years. I remember being able to eat all the ice cream I wanted, but for some reason, I didn't really want to eat anything at all for a while. I hope Nathan gets to enjoy the ice cream!
