Tonsils, Adenoids, & Ear Tubes, Oh My!

Today I had my tonsils and adenoids taken out and I also had my tubes in my ears redone. Mommy took me down to the outpatient center at Cottage Hospital. My appointment wasn't until 8:15 am and I couldn't eat or drink anything after I went to bed. What a bummer! Grandma, Grandpa and Nana met us down there and helped entertain me while we waited. Surgery wasn't scheduled until 9:30, so we had lots of time to hang around. Another little boy who was having surgery lent me a book to read and then Grandma brought me some new people to play with. That entertained me for quite a while. Finally, they took us back to the prep area and gave me some fun medicine. Everyone thought I looked drunk, whatever that means. Then we watched Pooh's Heffelump movie for a while while the medicine kicked in. My nurse was our friend from church, Priscilla. It was nice to have a friend with me. After the surgery, Daddy came over from work across the street to be with me for a little bit and then Mommy took over (or at least tried to). The nurses left to get some pain medicine for me and Mommy started to not feel so good. Can't bring her anywhere near a hospital. So sad! They had to take her to a recovery room and put a wet washcloth on her forehead. Luckily I fell asleep, so I didn't notice that both Mommy & Daddy were gone. At least the nice nurses took good care of me. After another hour or so, I got to go out to the recovery room with Mommy & Grandpa and watch PBS and have a Popsicle. I wasn't too interested in it though. I think most of it melted. I fell asleep again and after a couple more hours we got to go home. Then I ate a ton of ice-cream. I guess that's one good thing about this surgery. That and all my favorite people were with me most of the day. At least it's over now!
