The Tonsils are out!

We took Carty in at 6:30am to get his tonsils and adenoids out. The surgery was quick and smooth, thank goodness! When the doctor came out to talk with us he told us Carter's adenoids were "monstrous!"
Yikes! It's a wonder the poor guy could breathe. The Dr. also said they were almost completely blocking the back of his nose. So he should breathe and sleep much better...after he is all healed!


Carter and Dad in the waiting room. Can you tell Carty's excited? :)


With his "party hat" the nurses gave him.
Sleepy head after surgery. He handled the anesthesia very well and wasn't disoriented or crazy like other boys I know who had their tonsils out...Ryan.
Michael and I got Starbucks treats while we waited, here's Michael enjoying his blended strawberry lemonade. Thanks Keili for getting him hooked!
Dad feeding Carter some smashed up popsicle.
Home at last! Were he is enjoying apple juice, more popsicles, and... Stuart Little 3, the special movie he picked out to watch while he recovers.
Feel better soon Carter!

Poor little guy! I'm glad that the situation was taken care of however. And what a bittersweet thing for a child. Being in pain but getting smoothies and ice cream for meals!
