Brandon's Surgery - November 6th


Before - waiting for the doctor. He did not like the hospital gown.
He kept asking if he could take it off.



Brandon had surgery on Tuesday. The doctors decided to put tubes in his ears and take out his tonsils and his adenoids. He did really well overall. Today is Thursday and today has been the most uncomfortable day. He is complaining that his tongue hurts but it shouldn't take long. The doctor said that his adenoids were HUGE and he was glad to get them out!

He had been failing all of his hearing test and not sleeping well so hopefully he will be a new boy here in a few days. Last night he slept with his mouth closed for a few hours and he hasn't done that in a long time. He is also telling me that everything is too loud - the vacuum, the water in the tub, the music - so i guess he really can hear better!

Grandpa Dean got here yesterday and will stay for a few days before leaving on his adventures of North Carolina trip!
After - enjoying the pain medication, popsicles and ice!

Marci~Chayse just got tube and adnoids out last month and it has been amazing. The same with the sleeping with her mouth closed finally. I hope he recovers well, and he can move on and not be sick anymore. Good Luck. These crazy things must run in the family:-)
