Amadeo had his tonsils and adenoids out

Well, the time is here............today Amadeo has his tonsils out.  It's August 2, 2011 and he has had too many days of feeling tired, down and sick.

We meet at the hospital at 6:30 and off go the clothes and on goes the gown.  Cartoons are on the tv and we are just waiting.  Doesn't take long and they are here to get our litle man.  I always choke up at these kind of things so I just give a little kiss and wave goodbye.  The doc said that it would be around 45 minutes and by golly in 45 minutes the doc was back and said everything went well.  He will be in recovery for about an hour.
Finally up at his room and he is still groggy from the meds.  Just wants to cuddle and get comfotable so that is what we do.  I just love this little guy and when he wants to cuddle by all means let's do it!  The nurse came in with ice chips and he takes it like a trooper.  Next the nurse tells us that the meds Amadeo will have to take for the next 10 days or so, at intervals of 4 hours, tastes terrible!!  Oh great, now what??   Well, it's time for his first dose and daddy gives it to him and he takes it great!!  Hurrah!!  at least mom won't have to worry about giving him that.  He also has to take amoxicillian to prevent infection.
Amadeo did a really good job of being a good patient.  Lots of visitors so the time goes by fast.  Mom spent the night with him and Auntie Patsy took them all home the next day.  Little sis, Matia spent the past couple days with Auntie Tina so she had a good time too.
