The news of Jack needed to get his tonsils removed shocked me. Last October, I took Jack to his well child check-up. He rarely sees the doctor unless it is for well-child and immunizations. When Dr. Lei said that he has huge tonsils, I was floored. He looked over his records to make sure that he hadn't been in for tonsillitis or other throat related problems. He hadn't. He is one healthy little man. I was referred to Dr. Grimmer at PMC in SLC. We waited 3 months for his appointment and finally met him for the first time yesterday. He agreed with Dr. Lei and suggested surgery. I was impressed that they had 1 opening for the following day and then if we didn't take that time, we would wait 3-4 weeks. I jumped on the opening for the following day...less anticipation, less stress, less worry. He was such a sweet big boy!
Here's how our day rolled out...
 |
| Alligator ready to have surgery! |
 |
| Pre-Op appointment with vitals |
 |
| Checking into the hospital |
 |
| More vitals |
 |
| He loved being able to 'toot around' in his truck for the morning. |
 |
| His jammies for the stay |
 |
| Getting ready to part ways |
 |
| Anesthesiologist takes him away, Jack drives to the OR room |
 |
| One last look |
 |
| After surgery, being wheeled to recovery |
 |
| One sad little boy |
 |
BUT, a brave little boy! He was so brave that he even got a prize.
He chose a car, who'd have guessed? |
 |
| A wagon ride to the car with his slushee in tow. |
 |
| I hope life without your tonsils is great! |
