T & A

Ahhh, the long awaited and dreaded tonsillectomy is over!

They also took out his adenoids, so he had a "T&A"

(in cool nurse lingo)

To prepare for the surgery,

Grampa Dan and Grama Beth made possibly the coolest thing ever,

They altered this book (originally about a girl)

to make it special JUST for Max

Hee hee hee, My giant-headed family

For those of you who know Dr. Charlie- this picture is PERFECT!

ha ha ha

It looks just like him!

We checked in this morning at 6:20am,

Max was actually really excited.

THAT made things so much easier on me,

I can't imagine what I would've done if he had been nervous or scared.

He got to play X Box 360 while we waited to be called back...

About 7:40am, they took him back.

Me and Matty sat and ate bagels and drank coffee,

then at about 8:10 they told us he was done!

It was so fast!

About 10 min later, I got to go see him.

He was groggy, crying, and looked miserable.

He stuck his finger in his throat, and refused to drink anything.

The nurse gave him pain meds, and he fell asleep....

He finally woke up for real around 9:30am.

He was so ready to go home.

He wouldn't even crack a smile

At 10am, they let us pack up and leave.

They gave him more pain meds, and he was still so unhappy.

He threw up a few times on the ride home, and once at home after some soup.

That anesthesia can be yucky.

He is doing MUCH better now.

Grama Roni brought him a Scooby Doo video game

and new jammies, so he is relaxin' and playin'

He is smiling, has a funny voice, and very bad breath.

I am so glad the scary part is over!

SUCH a strong boy!
