Tonsils No More! Surgery Day Part One

The big day is finally here!  We have been waiting for so long for the tonsillectomy.  You can read HERE about M's tonsils and the reason we need this surgery.

M woke up at 5:30 (pretty good for him) and took a bath.  He was pretty excited to have popsicle and juice for breakfast.  He was allowed to have certain liquids before 8:30.  We didn't know that gum was off limits and we let him have some gum.  Oops!

We left for the hospital in plenty of time.  M was nervous.

Once at the hospital we got checked in and all really to go.  Apparently gum can cause some added gases or something but he was still cleared for surgery.  Oh how nervous I was that he would not get to have surgery.

He was scared of taking the goofy juice.  It tastes awful and he put up quite a fight in taking it.  Once it starts working it really lives up to its name.  He was so silly.  It was funny to watch him but a bit intense to make sure he didn't throw his head back or anything.

We just arrived in the parent waiting area and the surgery is beginning anytime.  I will try to continue to update on the blog since I am still on a FB break.  If you are checking in here because of the post on FB, I have been writing many many blog posts so feel free to check those out too!

Thank you all for your prayers!

Here are some photos from our morning so far.  Brandon's phone isn't syncing fast enough to iPhoto (oh how I love iPhoto) so he has to email them to me to post so uploading is going very slowly.


Happy in the waiting room!

Happy to have an arm band for him (and for Cat).  PBS kids was a great distraction.



The goofy juice is starting to work!

All ready for surgery!
