Anne, it's so true what's been said that children bounce back so quickly! After this procedure, Ron is going to feel so much better! Your family is in my prayers today for Ron to have an uneventful surgury and a speedy recovery and for you to feel peace and not worry.

We're back!!!
Phew - what a day!
Ron ended up having only his adenoids taken out. The doctor said the adenoids were so large, he thinks they have been solely responsible for the obstruction - so he didn't touch the tonsils themselves.
Ron was very brave. He had nothing to eat or drink since last night and I was sure that that in itself would make him cranky in the morning. But he handled being in the hospital very well and was in high spirits the whole morning. He was smiling up to the point when they actually put the mask with the anasthetic over his face - then he panicked and cried
it took a couple of minutes (might have been shorter but seemes longer to me) for him to go under. The operation itself took about 15 minutes. I was with him up to the point when he was anasthesizes - then we waited for him outside. He took a while to wake up. First half an hour he was confused and crying. Then he fell asleep for 2 hours. Then woke up feeling slightly better and had his first ice cream


He is very sleepy. He fell asleep in the car on the way back home and he's in bed right now.

Thank you everyone for your good vibes, thoughts and prayers! They are much appreciated! I was thinking about you guys while I was waiting for him to wake up - and it helped a lot.

I'm attaching a few pics from today. The first two are from before the procedure - you can see what a good mood he was in. The third is an "after" picture

Awww I just want to cuddle Ron and put a smile back on his cute face.

I am glad that it went well. I didn't know that the procedure only takes 15 mins and that you can be home the same day - the wonders of technology!

Feel better Ron...lots of fluids...not just ice cream!
And Anne love that beautiful mop of hair...I'm jealous!
If I could "Caption This" for that last photo of Ron it would be this:

"They tried to sell me some story that the mask was for Halloween...what do they think I was, BORN YESTERDAY!"
