Yesterday was a long day for us. With the dilemma of Fisher possibly having sleep apnea and with the suggestion of our wonderful pediatrician, we had Fisher's tonsils and adenoids removed. It was a blessing for sure since both his adenoids and tonsils were quite enlarged and obstructing some of his breathing airways. Needless to say, our little man is quite the trooper and is on to a better recovery today.
Here he is with his dad waiting for the anesthesiologist. From the moment we got into this room and had him change into his hospital gowns, Fisher knew something was up. Luckily his dad found some really fun YouTube videos on his phone to help distract him.
Fisher did absolutely amazing for such a scary and unfamiliar experience. He was a little shaken up once he woke up from surgery and would not let go of me the minute he saw me. Today he was having a bad experience to the pain medicine they prescribed to him. It would keep him up and from 2:30am till 2:30pm Fisher hadn't slept. Thankfully, after bugging his doctor, they prescribed him a new pain medicine and literally after 15 minutes of taking it Fisher felt a whole lot better. He finally ate, drank and even ran around a little bit with his brother. Hopefully it will continue to work and he will be able to sleep tonight.
I am so extremely proud of my little Fisher for being so brave and so wonderful during such a traumatic experience. He is such a sweet little boy and its never fun seeing your little one in any kind of discomfort or pain. Thankfully he is doing so much better and becoming his old self again!

My sis-in-law's little boy has PDD and recently had his tonsils and adenoids out, too. Is it something that these little guys are prone to? Hope it helps Fisher as much as it has helped Kamp!
what a brave boy!! I hope it really helps!
