Just wanted to update everyone on Ethan's tonsillectomy today. His doctor came up to me after surgery and showed me what he removed, his tonsils were extremely huge!! It was a good thing we got them out when we did. Ethan's only complaint when he woke up, was that the gown they made him wear had polka dots and was 'girly'. He is doing great! He came home around 9:30 am and slept until almost 1pm. When he woke up he said he was hungry. He had a Popsicle and applesauce and said he was still hungry!! He also said he felt no pain. We gave him his pain meds around 3pm (6 hours after his initial dose), but only because we felt he should have them before he started to feel any pain. When the girls came home from school, he proudly announced that he got his tonsils out and wanted to show everyone. He was running around the house as normal as on any other given day. He played a little outside and wanted to do more. I'm glad he is doing so well. The doctor called us tonight to check on him and said it was a good sign that he wanted to play. He will probably get worse before he gets better, but for now is doing extremely well.
