Jacob went in to Children’s Mercy hospital on Monday morning for surgery. He had his tonsils and adenoids removed, a hernia repaired and the veins in his nose cauterized. Talk about a triple whammy!
He was really out of it on Monday, as can be expected, but yesterday he was back to his normal self. He ate a ton…eggs, toast, turkey, strawberries, bananas, milkshakes, smoothies, Jello, etc.
Today, he is paying some for it. He is really tired, hoarse and just out of it again. He is still doing really remarkable though, in my opinion. He is such a little toughie!
According to Jacob, the best thing about having surgery is that when you come home, when you ask for something, you get it. Oh boy..this may be a hard one to break!
I’m glad that he is doing okay and getting lots of special attention. That boy has it figured out, huh? How cute…
Might as well get some mileage out of such trauma, right? Love you, Jacob.
I’m glad he’s doing well!
I hope he has fully recovered now! He is amazing, I love how kids are so resilient and bounce back.
That is a whammy! If I had seen this earlier I would have warned you that day 5-7 is usually the worst. A lot of times, the day after kids are doing fine and want to eat…then it hits them! I hope your little one is back to normal now and that you are free from those sore throats!
Hope he is all better!! I WISH I had been able to eat anything at all besides water after tonsil surgery. You are such a good mom for doing it young. I WISH my parents had not let me wait until I was 26!!!
What a sweetie – 3 surgeries!!
