{Tonsils}

Kyson has had problems with his tonsils for the longest time! The Dr. wanted to take them out right before Ky turned 2, I was a little nervous putting Kyson under at such a young age so we have waited as long as we could. 2 weeks ago Kyson was complaining that his tongue hurt so I got the flash light out and took a look down his throat, I couldn't even see a hole for food to go down. So I got him into the Dr. and he gave him an antibiotic to help the swelling and then we made an appointment for the end of September to get them taken out. A week later Kyson still had a sore throat and his tonsils once again were touching and making friends with eachother in the back of his mouth, So I took him back to the Dr. to get another antibactic, the Dr. took a look and said, "We'll see you in the morning at 7:00 at the hospital". So that night I dropped Taige off at my mom's and Jamie kept her over night, we took Kyson to Walmart and he picked out his very own ice cream and Popsicles. Then the next morning bright and early we headed to the Hospital. Nate helping Kyson get in his gown Kyson was so excited to have his sore throat better....little did he know Kyson listening to his heart, waiting to go to the surgical room Still waiting....

We had to be there by 8:00 Kyson was schedule for the surgical room at 9:00 we sat around trying to keep Kyson entertained until 12:45 with no eating or drinking that was pretty hard. The nurse was so nice, she tried helping as much as she could to keep Kyson happy, they gave him so Happy Med. so calm him down so he wasn't nervous to be by himself without Nate and I when they put him under. He was so funny on the med. He just kept giggling for no reason and his balance was really off. The nurse gave him some water and a syringe to keep him busy he was so druggie he kept spilling it. Kyson did pretty good during surgery, but waking up was not so FUN. I could hear them bringing him down the hall just crying and thrashing and him yelling, "my mommy, my mommy' it was pretty heart breaking. We had to wait another 3 1/2 hours before he could get discharged and he had to have something to eat before they would let us go. so finally at 6:00 we were headed out the door

Poor Kyson was so drugged and sore he didn't know what was going on. So this is what our week has consisted of....

I hope he will start feeling good soon. It has been so sad watching him be in so much pain and not being able to do a whole lot for the little guy. There has been a few fevers, alot of drooling, some crying and alot of sleeping. I took him for his check up today and the Dr. says that they look good and the scabs should be falling off soon(which I guess is the most painful part) and that he will be a new kid in no time. He has been so spoiled getting to eat and drink what ever he's wanted and alot of mommy time and attention I hope this won't be hard to break and get back on track when he is doing better.
