He went in for surgery this morning at 9:30 am. He was so brave!
He took his stuffed wolf to comfort him and didn't even cry when they wheeled him away. He did have a blood pressure scare during the surgery. It went really low...once he came out of anesthesia, it regulated. He was not a happy camper in the recovery room but then got something special in his IV and then he was so LOOPY (but not in pain).
Tonight he is acting like his normal self (with Tylenol w/ codeine) and I'm just going to keep that up every 4 hours...he is such a trooper. His tonsils on a scale of 1 - 5 (1 being smallest, 5 biggest) were a 4+ so I am SO grateful that we decided to get them out. Thanks for all the well wishes.
I have the best family and friends in the world! I am thankful.
Hope he feels back to normal soon. Our oldest had the same surgery when he was five. Best thing we ever did.
ReplyDeleteI am glad he is doing well. I hope the recovery continues to do well!!!

Oh I remember those days. My oldest Taylor had to have that done and it was amazing the sleeping difference. Best of luck to Garrett!
