Zac had his tonsils and adenoids out on Friday (we switched his surgery from Thurs to Fri so we could do it at the Plano surgery center and save a few hundred bucks!)
He was very angry when he came out of the anesthesia. I'm talking throwing arms up, kicking, knocking juice out of the nurse's hand and then later out of my hand, and of course trying to pull out his IV and his oxygen sats monitor!!! He eventually calmed down and was surprisingly sweet the rest of the day.
So it's day 3 and I must say Zac is doing amazing! He's been eating (mostly speghettios, easy mac, and cookies) and drinking lots of apple juice. He's probably the one kid in the world that doesn't like ice cream, popsicles, jello or whatever usual stuff people eat after they get their tonsils out. The first thing Zac wanted to eat was cookies, go figure. He doesn't seem in too much pain and is taking his medicine without too much complaint. (they sure dope em up! something every 3 hours!)
One thing I didn't expect was for his voice to be so high pitched. The doctor said when you remove the adenoids because they're behind the nasal passages it leaves your child sounding "nasally" for a few days. Ok I guess "nasally" sounds like someone who's been sucking on helium!!! It's so funny! I tried to get him to talk to me on video yesterday, I don't know if you can tell how different his voice it right now, it was way worse the first day...
Thanks again for everyone's prayers! And thanks to Jim and Debbie for keeping Landon for 2 days and for our yummy dinner Katherine!!!
