And we officially made it through 2 hospital experiences in
less than 7 weeks. Brody got his tonsils out last Friday---pray
that you or your kids never have to go through that. Maybe adults
can handle it but it is so sad for the little people. We went in at 7:30 AM
and the Doctor didn't show up until 9:30 AM. Try entertaining Brody in
a small 5X5 room for that long. Finally, the nurses helped out and let
him go exploring around the surgical center. The night before he had
seen a kite outside and could not stop talking about it. So he was telling
all of the nurses about it. Then when the Doctor and anesthesiologist
arrived they went along with the kite idea and roped him into going with
them. :( I am sure he was pretty fired up when they didn't have a kite.
When he woke up he was really out of it. I guess kids go into a
fighting mode when coming off the anesthesia. Very sad and scary
for him. He was hooked up to an IV and kept trying to rip it off.
After about an hour and half we got to take him home. He was in
pain the first few days but I think he is feeling better.
Then a quick Noah update---as you can see he is a little
Hoodini (sp?) he was screaming this morning and we found him like
the above. Definitely has a career in magic.
