Post-Op

So...little man had the surgery last Tuesday. I have to say, that surgery center we went to was so nice, while L was in surgery, I was thinking of what organs were expendable so I could come back! I called the room "L's labor and delivery room" because we did all the pre-op stuff there and when he was done with the surgery, he went to the same room for post-op. Everything went well although he came out of the anesthesia kinda rough. Here are some pics:

O with the balloon that they gave him at the surgery center, they gave L one too, it was a nice touch!


So the days following the surgery have been rough. They had a hard time intubating him before the surgery so he was xtra sore in the throat area, poor kid. He isn't eating well and the antibiotics have messed up his GI something terrible. I'm glad we did this while he was young, but I feel so bad that we did it at all. He also got tubes put in his ears and the dr. said it was a good thing because there was some nasty pus that came out when he made the incision to the ear drum in both ears. Here's hoping that with the adenoids gone, the ears will start draining and we can avoid further tubes in the future.
