tonsils

Earlier in the spring Peter got croup again really bad and even lost his voice for months.  We were a little concerned and when we took him to the ENT with once look down his throat he said he needs his tonsils taken out.  Apparently if your tonsils touch that is a bad thing! ;)  We were going to do it before the move, but we had to move it to August so a week after we moved, Peter had his surgery!  He did great during the prep and won over all the staff with his inquisitiveness and his lack of fear.  The surgery went well, but he was not super happy when he woke up from his anesthesia.  He kept trying to pull his IV out.  (I don't blame him) but once we got that taken out and gave him his popcicle he was much better.

He did really well during his healing, no bleeding or anything.  The first day was difficult to keep him still but I think once the pain meds really wore off he didn't feel quite so good so he was a little more subdued.  But I was amazed at how well he did, but I think he was ready to eat real food again after his week was up.  The first few days after his surgery I would keep checking on his when he was sleeping because I couldn't hear him, poor guy I think this is the first real good nights sleep he has had in years!
