Monday September 21st Cole had a tonsillectomy and an adenoidectomy. He did well, but the experience at Overland Park Surgery Center was not great. First, before they put him out they took him away from us crying. Then...once he was done and in recovery he was by himself in an open area because it was just a surgery center it was just "rooms" closed off by shower curtain looking things. He woke up, didn't have his blanket, toys, or his Mommy or Daddy. He was very upset. After an hour we were finally able to leave after he drank some water and they gave him his first dose of Hydrocodone. He was pretty out of it Monday and kind of watched TV once we got home. We had to give him the hydrocodone every 4 hours.
Tuesday, Daddy stayed home with Cole. He watched Cars, but overall was pretty lethargic. The only thing he will drink is a little bit of water, milk, and he will eat fruit snacks.
Wednesday and Thursday Cole stayed home with Mommy. Wednesday he was still pretty lethargic in the morning and watched Cars and Cars 2. Then...apparently he started feeling better. He did not want to take a nap and he was singing in bed.We picked up Cayden and Cole actually started playing with Cayden once we were home. He still whispers once in a while, but not as much.
Thursday he woke up at 9:00 a.m. in some pain (we had not given him hydrocodone since 5:30p the night before), so hydrocodone was a must because he was pretty upset. After the meds kicked in, we went to Quick Trip for a donut treat. At first he only ate a few bites...but while we were talking to GG on FaceTime he decided to eat more. He has about 3/4th's of his donut! YAY! He even went upstairs to get his Mickey from his bed to show GG. He is definitely much better, although still not eating a whole lot other than the donut and fruit snacks.
