Surgery Day

Evan's tonsils are out!! Apparently when they got in there they discovered that his adenoids were just as huge as his tonsils, so it is a good thing we got them all out. We are already noticing that he sounds a little different, and he isn't snoring anymore. never has a child been as excited as he was I think. He woke up this morning, asked if it was Monday so he could get out his tonsils, and when we said yes he started dancing and celebrating. The excitement has worn off now. Here are a few pics of the big day.

Here he is watching Sesame Street waiting for his turn. They go in age order, so in the morning they are all set up for little kids which was nice. The doctor was running behind, so our 8 o'clock surgery didn't start til 9, and the cartoons kept him entertained.Taking his blood pressure with his new dinosaur from Grandma and Katie. Dino got to go into surgery too and get his tonsils out. Definitely a hit.

Posing in his hospital gown. He got to leave his new Spongebob pants on, just had to change into this fun shirt. He was not a huge fan because he wanted to wear his new pajamas.

The doctor actually questioned if they had given him some medicine before he went in because Evan was so excited and loopy. Just the natural high from the excitement. I loved the little red wagon ride to into surgery. He went off willingly waving to everybody he passed. The doctor said he was very excited when he got to the OR and was having quite an adventure.

Here is what he looked like when I got to him in post-op. He asked me to get a picture of his whole bed before he went in so people could see how cool it was. He did pretty well waking up, and there hasn't been too much crying yet.

This is what the next few days should look like. Sacked out on the couch watching cartoons. Hopefully it is a speedy recovery!
