Before and After

Here he is...tonsil free. Ben was a champ as usual. Very little complaining, barely needed pain meds, just needed one night for o2 and observation.

Nicely done Ben. You're a superhero.  

Four Plus

this boy has gigantor tonsils...on the "tonsil scale", one to four, ben's are a four plus. 

4+ = surgery  

so off we go tomorrow morning (6am) for tonsil time

the cool thing is that while 

he's out they are going to 

grab those adenoids too

put some tubes in his ears

give him a hearing test

and an echocardiogram. 

all things that usually go better on a sleeping four year old 

if you remember, say a prayer for benners around 8am 

hoping for a throat with more more room for breathing! 

no more snoring baby boy

doesn't ben look rad in his gait trainer?
