This was this morning and he is eating breakfast, the only thing he would eat was the scrambled eggs, which he has NEVER done before, even after many attempts, but I guess the kid was desperate, he can only have this type of soft foods for 2 weeks...
Justin settled into a room overnight and the med's kept him pretty comfortable..
We were called back the recovery room and there were a ton of kids crying because they woke up from surgery, but as soon as the doors opened, we heard Justin above all other cries, he was in so much pain, and loopy for med's, the nurse said he was freaking out going crazy in the crib and trying to pull out his IV, my poor baby...
Mommy and Daddy with Justin in the waiting room before he was taken back for surgery, he loved the train table and the fish.
Today Justin and I came home from the hospital, they did take out the Tonsils and Adenoids and put tubes in his ears, the works. It has been exhausting 24 hours, with little sleep for the both of us. We took a few pictures of before and after. Everyone at the hospital was great and Justin's ENT doctor is amazing, we love him! The first 8 hours after surgery was horrible, the poor thing, I felt so bad for him, he was miserable and looped up on morphine and motrin, he didn't want to sip a thing. After the morphine wore off and they gave him motrin and Lortab he was able to tolerate the pain to eat some egg noodles, ice cream and canned diced peaches and a ton of Sprite. After we got home today he took a long nap, but when he woke up evidently his med's had worn off and he was so out of sorts, and crying rolling on the floor, it was so sad, thank goodness for med's!! The Dr. said it will be a rough next 2 weeks, but he should be so much better afterwards.We appreciate everyone who has helped out with our kids (and Laura for taking Wade)who have sent emails, made phone calls or text's to check on us, we appreciate all of you!
We are so proud of you Justin and love you very much!

We hope you get better Justin. Glad you got to go trick or treating before your surgery. We know you had fun at that.

Love Aunt Cheryl & family
I have been dying to talk to you. I am so glad they put tubes in his ears! Hooray. Alos glad you liked your doctor. I have been wanting to call you and see how everything is going...Glad to see you're on your way to the next two weeks. Yeah!
I am so glad it went well! My prayers will now be for the next two weeks!!!!! Love you guys!!!
Hope he feels better soon and you can get some sleep!!! Glad it all went well- my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family :)
Good to hear that the little guys is doing well! I can't imagine how hard that must have been seeing him in so much pain, but I know that this will help him out and I am glad that it went well. Please let me know if there is anything I can do I sure hope you get some sleep these next two weeks. Good luck!
oh my goodness, poor little Justin! and poor you for having to see him like that. Hopefully these next couple of weeks will tolerable. Let me know if you need me to take Wade anytime so you can have somewhat of a break and just take care of Justin. I'm sure Eleanor would love to play with him.
You're amazing! I can't imagine having to put my two year old through that let alone when I'm exhausted from being newly pregnant! I sure hop Justin recovers quickly. Let us know if you need any help or company.
Okay so I'm sooo glad to hear he didn't actually yank his IV out...Brady did when he was a baby and it was so horrible when they put it back in that I had to plug my ears and leave the room...I couldn't deal with it.
Anyway, I was especially happy to see Justin today...it made me feel better.
I am so far behind in checking posts...this was a sad one! It is so sad to see him in a little hospital crib. poor thing. Hope Justin is doing better now.
