I am thankful for

Dr Little and the great nursing staff at Children's Hospital west! C had his tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy & nose thing done yesterday and it all went very well. All of the doctors and nurses were so amazing they made a kind of scary thing very bearable for all of us! D & I went back to pre-op with C and stayed with him while they went over exactly what was going to happen, got his vitals, visits from the doc & anesthesiologist then they gave him the "happy juice" and within 10 minutes he was in la la land. D was trying to score some happy juice to go but they weren't biting. Then they wheeled him off happily not knowing he was leaving his parents. Surgery was over in about 40-45 minutes first words out of the doctors mouth were "he had really large tonsils & adenoids" about 20 minutes or so after we were allowed to go back with him in recovery. Although they have a 2 person limit they allowed meemaw to come back as well which was great. C evidently takes after his grammy in the recovery room-he did not want to wake up, he would sit up every now & again and have a sip of sprite but right back down to sleep. My mother, veteran of numerous surgeries is notorious for settling in in the recovery room and sleeping.
So far so good minimal pain he had some oatmeal-meemaw had to make it she is in his eyes the only one that makes it correctly-some scrambled eggs & lots of sprite. He is busy playing his nintendo ds and watching a football game for now. After some more coffee I will tackle cleaning the house, laundry & start some baking for tomorrow!
