Mikey vs. Tonsils

Last week Mikey had his tonsils removed because he had what you call tonsils stones. They are gross white chunks that collect in the back of his throat. He also had a septoplasty where they removed some of the bone from his nose so now he can breath a little easier.


Well the nurse said that it will hurt a lot more days 3-5. I think that Mikey would disagree with that. That it kills from days 3-7. He has been having a hard time sleeping because he wakes up at night in pain. For awhile the pain pills would take about 45 minutes to start working and it would last for about hour maybe hour and half than the rest of the time he is in pain waiting for the fours hours to be over with so he can take more pain medicine. On the first day he throw up blood a couple times. He said that it wasn't that bad because he could not taste anything. He still does not taste much unless it is really strong. He is doing much better today. He has been working on the laptop all day. Mikey's work has been very good to work with him at home. They even were so nice enough to bring over an ice cream cake which I have eaten most of it. Mikey is such a trooper.

During this Max also has been sick and I caught myself a cold. So we really have not been the best people to hang out with this week. But we are definitely on the uphill:)
