So on January 5th, Kevi had to get his tonsils and adenoids out, and a thyroglossal cyst removed from his throat. Pretty much a one stop shop on the surgery table. He was such a BIG boy. He told all the doctor and nurses that he was 4, (he wants to be like big brother), and didn't throw a fit before going into surgery. "Before" being a key word here. He was pretty loopy coming out of surgery, but didn't cry like all the other kids in the recovery rooms around us....until he realized he had an I.V. in his foot. THEN, all hell broke loose. He wanted that sucker OUT! Our nurse Becky (who also happened to be my good friend's mom) almost took a couple kicks to the face. Luckily, this wasn't her first rodeo, and is excellent at dodging flying objects. So we got him settled down after taking it out of his foot, and maybe 6 or 7 thrown binkies.
Our next big task was to keep him from pulling the bandages and drain. As soon as we got in the car he was pulling on it. Luckily, the new car DVD's they got for Christmas kept his preoccupied until we got him. He did awesome that first day drinking and eating LOTS. So today we are 7 days into recovery and he is do really amazing. He's been talking almost the entire time, and being pretty good about taking his medicine. Here are some pics from before and after surgery.
