Number 6 for my 7 year old

At 7 years old Drew has undergone 6, yes SIX surgeries. Nothing too crazy major, but he has gone under way too many times for any little person. It seems that this last one was the worst. He had his tonsils and adenoids removed on Monday. He was a bit nervous, but did great. Fifteen minutes coming out of anesthesia he woke up, looked at the nurse and asked if it was done. She responded with the affirmative and he said "Well, that was easy!" Oh how I wish it was that easy.....

He slept most of the day of surgery and was pretty mellow day 2, but goodness come day 3 and 4 he has bee MISERABLE. The poor thing will hardly eat or drink anything. He is dizzy and down right crabby.  He always wants to go somewhere and even resorted to telling me he wants to go somewhere dirty. I asked here....and he said "Chuckie Cheese". Riiiight...I won't even take him there when he is not recovering from surgery! He was pretty upset when I told him no and informed me very angrily that he was going to eat my brain.

Medicine is a challenge, as well as drinking, but hopefully things will look up tomorrow. At least he is sleeping through the night and the kid loves TV.  My sweet boy has been through so much for such a tiny person. I can't wait to have my sweet, energetic, lively, silly, cracker lovin' boy back.  And hopefully when all is said and done we will have less ear infections, less snoring, and less winter congestion!
