McCoy's Tonsillectomy

On Friday, McCoy had to have his tonsils and adenoids removed. He hasn't had tubes so this was his first big medical procedure and I was very anxious about it. McCoy, on the other hand, was very excited! Of course he didn't quite understand, but he knew he would get lots of ice cream and popsicles afterward;).

That morning he ran into the surgery center and told the receptionist that he was there to get his tonsils out! He was so brave when they took him back so it made me feel a lot better to leave him.

It didn't take long at all and then we got to go see him in recovery. When he woke up, he was very upset. It broke my heart to go back there and see him so sad and confused:(. But, I got to cuddle with him in his hospital bed and watch a movie while he recovered, so that made me feel a little better;)!

He's been such a trooper since we got home. Oh, a little side note, the first thing he wanted to do when we got home was hug Violet! He loves her so much!! Back to his tonsils... He isn't eating much, though and last night he told me he just wanted his booboo to go away. I so wish I could take it away for him!! He's been watching a lot of movies. I can't tell you how many times we have seen Polar Express, but whatever makes him happy:)! I think his pain meds make him feel really good one minute and then totally zone him out the next, so it's been interesting to watch. Nights are hard and I feel like is exhausted, but he is still so sweet!

Just hoping that my sweet baby is back to himself soon!!! I miss my crazy boy;)!

Brave boy...

...about to head back to surgery.

Recovery. Poor boy:(. You can tell he was loving the blue slushie, though;)!

Glad to be home!

Zoning out...
