Thomas' surgery

Well we are officially 2 weeks past thomas' surgery! Just to update everyone he had his tonsils and adenoids removed and his second set of tubes put in on June 25th. The actual surgery took about 45 minutes but we were at the surgery center about 6 hours. Watching him come out of anesthesia was hard but he did really good after getting a little extra pain medicine. Dad brought his iPod so he watched a little curious George but slept most of the time we were there. Thomas hated the IV in his foot so when the nurse said he had to drink his juice before she could remove the IV and send us home he gladly drank his juice! Recovery at home was pretty easy the first day and a half but then on day 3 got really bad. He started refusing his pain meds so was in a lot of pain. Day 3-8 were the hardest and neither Thomas or I got any sleep. Between the fevers, pain, vomiting and no sleep it was a VERY rough week. Luckily though we're now 2wks out and he's doing so much better! He only seems to have some pain when he sneezes or coughs but otherwise is doing great. We got off schedule the week I was home with him so now we're working on getting back on track with bedtime and sleeping. He seems to do better each night so hopefully soon all can return to normal. Thomas has his follow up In 2 weeks but so far I think he's doing great! What a little trooper!!
