Surgery Went Well

May 7th, 2011 at 03:42 am

DS came through surgery very well. The doctor told me that his tonsils and adenoids were blocking 70 percent of his airway. And they weren't even as swollen as they were last week. He should get a lot of relief now and be able to sleep better.

They gave us a big bottle of liquid Tylenol with codeine with a refill if he needs it. Unfortunately the effect seems to be wearing off about a half an hour before he can take any more. So he gets whiney then, and about ten minutes after he takes it again the whininess goes away like magic. Poor kiddo. I wish it would last the whole four hours.

He's eating pretty well. Lots of frozen smoothies and then he actually had a bowl of soup around four and Annie Bunnies all natural mac and cheese (the rabbit shaped pasta ones).

A big stack of medical bills came in the mail today. I've been waiting for them to show up. I didn't open them. I'll do that tomorrow when I'm running on more than 2.5 hours of sleep. Otherwise I'll probably not bear up under the final count too well. Much easier to handle on a good night of rest and a clear mind.

Forgot yet again to make my deposit to the EF. I even went to that CU to get a notarized affadavit that we actually live where we live so I could turn in the registration packet for middle school registration. Since none of the utilities are in our name we have to have other legal proof. This will be the last year, though, until he starts high school, but by then we won't be living here anymore, we'll be in our own home again with our own utility bills as proof of where we live.

    Sounds like your son will be feeling much better after he recovers. Fingers crossed the medical bills yet to be opened aren't too bad.

    Thanks, everyone. He is feeling a bit better. The medication is lasting about six hours now instead of 3 and a half, which makes him a lot more comfortable.
