tonsillectomy... (graphic post!)

Before surgery...


As of 8:20 am today, Draven no longer has tonsils! The poor kid has battled chronic strep throat for years. He gets it at least 4 times a year. Finally, a doctor recommended we get his tonsils removed. I was a little nervous about it since he is such a big guy. Usually it is easier on younger kids.
We got up this morning and headed to the hospital at 7am. Draven was very nervous about the anesthesia. Surgery was at 8 am and he was done by 8:20. By 9:30 am we were heading home. Draven was a little loopy, but seemed to be doing fine. He has already had tons of applesauce, jello, pudding, gaterade, and anything else cold and soft. He is resting now and should be feeling fine in no time!

After surgery...

Yes, they let you keep them!
