Tonsils suck butt…
So Chris had his tonsils out last Tuesday.. which is about 9 days ago. That was hard to experience. I wanted to cry while we waited in the room for them to take him away. I’ve heard all these horror stories about kids and anesthesia and I was afraid I would become a statistic and not a good one. They took him back at 10:00a.m., he was out of surgery at around 10:30a.m., and we were home at noon. That’s rough. When I first seen him I didn’t like what I seen…. he had a bit of blood coming from his mouth, and he wasn’t awake yet. He woke up very very emotional. He was crying about seeing tubes and breathing bad smelling gas. Eventually he got over it and I was comfortable with taking him home. Recovery hasn’t been that bad… we had a few moments of crying but not too much. His voice is drastically different though and his breath smells very odiferious 🙂 I have made him use alcohol-free mouthwash because it’s just revolting. It’s due to lymphatic fluids coating his teeth and stuff… because there is no tonsils, the fluid has to go somewhere. Eventually that will clear up.
What sucks is I have to go through with ALL of this again on June 2nd with Andrew. He’s a little brute so I think he’ll do well, but his diet sucks and he absolutely refuses to eat most soft foods. A great food such as spaghettio’s he flat out refuses. Mac & Cheese too. Today I tried to give him some spaghetti o’s and he took one bite and spit it out in the trash can. He will eat eggs and stuff so he may have to survive on that. No hot dogs, pizza or chicken nuggets though. He doesn’t eat mashed potatoes or anything soft really. That is where I think we will struggle with him.
I will have to have mine out in July and trust me, I am not looking forward to that. I have been promised that it is a very painful recovery for adults. I am a big baby so Matt will have to take a couple days off work to help me. The doctor has warned me, but I really need to have it done. I have had tonsilitis pretty much since I had the baby. That is weird though because the whole time I was pregnant I didn’t have one tonsil issue. I’m a chronic case. I have been on round after round of antibiotics and nothing is working anymore. I’m tired of waking up with throat pain and feeling like crap.
Caitlyn has a small cold, that I thought went away but is now apparently regenerating. She’s such a cutie pie. We got her ears pierced the other day. She cried for like 30 seconds while my mother decided to treat me like I was the most horrible parent in the world and make it publicly known. Had I known my mom would do that I wouldn’t have taken her.
We leave for Florida in 23 days for at least 10-11 days. I’m looking forward to it a lot, but in some ways i’m dreading it. Matt’s parents will be there, and I’m so afraid my kids are going to be horrible and make me look bad. Andrew is the worst with his behavior right now. I have to carry a small bottle of tobasco sauce on me just to get my point across to him. He’s a mouthy one. Chris is ok, but has his moments. Together though, when they are both getting on my nerves, it can be hell on earth… for reals. I need Nanny 911 🙂
I get to go see Dane Cook in a little more than 2 weeks. I still have one ticket I have no idea what to do with. It was originally intended for you Julie, but I know Tom would never permit you to do such a thing and your mom probably wouldn’t/couldn’t watch Joey… but it’s ok. So, so far it’s Matt, me and Beth. He’s super funny IMO, but I seen his special on Comedy Central the other day and if it’s anything like that special, it will be a little rough (nastiness wise). As his popularity grows, his shows become more and more vulgar!
I can’t believe the school year is already up. Andrew will be moving on to regular pre-school and Chris will finally be moving into 1st grade. He’s excited about it. I am not looking forward to the summer months though. I quite enjoyed my days with Chris at school and the two boys not destroying my house or fighting all day long.
