Wish us luck - the adenoids and maybe tonsils as well are finally going out tomorrow. I am soooo scared - I hope I'm not making him too nervous.

As if the stress wasn't enough - in the papers today they said that one of the workers at the hospital where we'll be going to is suspected of having killed 4 patients! They didn't say why as it's still under investigation, but hinted that is was an Arab staff member who might have done it as some sort of terror attack
I don't know whether to be happy they actually caught him or what


I don't have a lot of time to hang here now - gotta get everything ready for tomorrow. If anyone needs anything concerning the forums, please contact either hissy or Deb25.

Ron will be in my thoughts. Good luck, and remember to stock up on ice cream before he comes home.

Sending you mega thoughts, vibes and prayers your way!

From what I've heard all about the procedure little Ron will be going through, it's a lot easier on them now then it used to be when I was a kid. One of my friends son had this done last year and she said he was a bubbly little guy within a couple days. Regardless, it's still really tough to see them go through all of that but in the long run he'll be so much better after it's all said and done. Good luck Sweetie & give Ron some hugs from me!

Hi Anne , when I got my tonsils out at 21 I was fit the next day
. The children who got theirs out were running around the same day and all kids were doing good
But you are a mom and wife and so worry more , I do the same thing as mom and wife


I will lift you all up in prayers that all will go well tomorrow

Movin' on up!
Kids are lot more resilient, than people give them credit for. I presume that you are allowed to stay with him, while he's in the hospital. Most hospitals in the US allow parent(s) to stay with their children.

Just have a good supply of ice cream and ice chips, for afterward. Enjoy the few days, that he's down. Its probably the only break that you'll get, for years

I got the same thing done when I was just seven years old.Don't you worry about a thing. Everything is going to be just fine. We will see to that. I send prayers and hopes to both you and Ron. *Gives comforting hug*
Hope for the best! We all do!

Hi Anne
I hope all goes well for little Ron. I had my tonsils and adenoids out when I was 7 or 8 and from what I remember, it wasn't bad at all. And all of the ice cream definitely helped.
I'll be keeping Ron in my thoughts.

Right here! :)
Anne, you and Ron will be in my thoughts. I am sure everything will be allright, but I really understand your worries. It´s like we get an even softer side by becomming a mum, I would be so worried for my son too, even though I know I woulnt have to. My sister had this op. a few years ago, and had very quick recovery.

((((((Good luck!))))))))

Lotsa good vibes headed your way Anne. Hope all goes well for Ron. No reason to expect otherwise, but there's no "off" button for a Mum's worry. Take care.

Anne, just think how much better he is going to be once he recovers, how easily he will sleep through the night, as will you! Wishing you and the family only the best-



Hugs ---
