The Wednesday after Spring Break, Cameron was scheduled to have his tonsils removed. He has had strep throat frequently and we were pulling our hair out trying to keep him well! Finally we were able to get into surgery!
Being brave!
Waiting to go in with that stoic smile!
Anesthesia and Nursing come to do the "
pre-flight" check!
Dr. Heidi
Heras is pretty much the "go-to" gal for this in Utah County.
...and they are out!
Recovery room was rough! Lots of pain! I think Cameron also must have a little reaction to coming out of anesthesia as we have the same thing happen if he has nitrous at the dentist!
The crushed
popcicles were the favorite! (Microwave the
popcicle for 15 seconds and you can crush it into a nice
icee)!
Gross picture but the doctor was amazed at how relatively large his tonsils were! She also showed us how "cavernous" they were, harboring "the germs" which was why he couldn't stay better after antibiotics. What a relief they are finally out!
Yeah!!
All the tonsils you ever wanted to see! Picture overkill! I should have put a quarter next to them instead as the dime doesn't do it justice:)!
We gave him a little basket filled with things he could eat and a little light reading too!
Feeling much better when on the pain
meds!
Cam was so cute to leave this sign outside his bedroom door when he wanted to sleep. The Grandparents sent well-wishes! Now Cameron can breathe better at night; NO MORE SNORING! Yeah! He feels like he has a little more energy in the day since he is sleeping better with his new and improved "airway area!" We love ya Cam!
