Last Wednesday Blu and I took Kagan to get his tonsils out. How nerve racking it was for me to have to anticipate what was going to happen to my precious little boy. When I did my clinicals for LPN school I had to do some hours in the operating room. During that rotation they were doing tonsillectomies. Yuck!! I watched many little kids get there tonsils out. Little did I know one day my kids would have to go through that. All week long all I could picture was Kagan there while they were doing the cauterizing after they took out the tonsils. I also remembered how the little kids would cry for there moms. This is when being a nurse is not good.
Before they took him back they gave him some Versed to calm him down before the surgery. The nurse called it a "cheap drunk". WOW was Kagan funny on it. Blu and I laughed at him until we cried.
That helped calm us down a little. I am not sure if after that we were more nervous about what he was going to say to the doctor or the surgery.
He was only gone for 30 minutes total with surgery and the recovery room. He was giving the nurse a run for her money in the recovery room so they brought him back to us.
The doctor told us when we were leaving that some kids will go home and have Popsicles for a week and some will eat a hamburger and fries. To my surprise he had the hamburger and fries first day post tonsillectomy. What a tough boy!
I took almost a week off to be home with him. Kaysha was a great helper to take care of her little brother. Despite Kagan having his tonsils out we had a great week together. I am so blessed to have such great kids!I love them so much!
Be thankful for your trials. If you're being tested, you're being perfected. Which means you have a divine purpose & reason to rejoice!
