Josh had surgery a week ago on Monday. He had his tonsils and adenoids removed. It was so sad to see him go to surgery. He fought the whole way! He refused to wear the hospitals pajamas and socks, preferring to be 'naked'. The doctor told us it was a really good decision to have them removed because upon physical examination they were much larger than he expected-a 4. They were blocking about 90% of his airway. He had a reaction to the anestesia-he turned red like a lobster for about an hour. Painless (assuming that the morphine wasn't counteracting any pain from the rash) though. He looked like hell for the day and has been getting better. Nights are still unbearably rough with him, but it will get better. We are sure. His little voice has changed a lot. It would be nice if he would take medicine without such a fight. Even when he is shaking from pain he still tries to fight it. Silly boy.
