And Hubby thought he’d surprise me…(and thought I didn;t get one since I was outside when they originally went up), so ended up with this one as well. Think I’m keeping this one though.

Hiya, Here’s mine. Very pretty, but I had wanted one of the cat one (tiger, leopard, etc) so he’ll probably be up for trade shortly.

Had his post op appt today/ The surgeon says he’s doing great. His voice has changed a bit, but the Dr. says it’ll get back to normal after a while. He’ eating again and acting more like himself. So much better now…

Ok, we would never do something like that, but the thought amuses me.

Hi,
Thanks eveyone! You’re support is invaluable. And Jennifer, thank you! Hearing what it’s like from a “child’s” POV helps a lot. He is imporving a little since we took him off the heavy duty pain meds and onto to some milder ibuprofen. Not as loopy. No more asking to “go home.” More aware, and a little more like himself. He’s drinking well, and tried to eat a few times, although the foods he wants to eat still makes him cry if he eats more than a bite or two. hopefully will see more improvement over the next few days. We told him that we asked the Easter bunny to stop by when he is feeling better, so he will still have “easter” to look forward to.Keeper of the Fledgings
We gave up, and just took him top the ER. Just emotionally couldn’t take it anymore. He was a little constipated and a little dehydrated, but all things considered he was fine. No sign of infections, or anything. The Er doc just thinks he’s taking a long time to bouce back. We gave him iv fluids there, and she told us stop trying to force him to eat, just drink. That drinking is more important that eating at this point. I think we just had an unrelistic expectation in his recovery time. They said that the worse days wer 2-4, so we assumed after 4 days he was start to improve…he just hasn’t. There truly is nothing more physically and emotionally exhausting than your child being sick, and having to fight with him every inch to help him. Sigh…Thanks for all your support. I suppose we’ll get through this somehow. There’s no other choice, really.

So small update…my son made it through the surgery ok, but he is not getting better. This is definetly one of the hardest weeks of my life, and I swear I’ve done nothing but cry for days now. He doesn;t want to eat anything. Literally nothing. Not his favorite foods. Nothing. So every meal is 30mins-1 hour of him crying hysterically, us pleaded with him to eat, and then feeling like monsters beecause we have to bully him into every single bite or anything. He’s listless, and just wants to sit on my chair and do nothing. He doesn;t want to go outside, or play. And if we try to confront him, he just cries and asks to “go to bed” or “wants to go home.” He is at home! It’s been 7 days, and I feel like he’s not even my kid any more. I can’t make him laugh or smile. I keep thinking it’s maybe the pain meds the surgeon has him on. I want to to stop them, but afraid he’ll be in pain if I do. And naturally it’s easter week-end. All the doctor offices are closed. The few times we’ve called their nurses lines, they basically just said keep making him drink and eat. He’ll be fine in another day or two. I feel like I should just take him to the ER, but what would I say? My son is not acting like himself? Yeah. What are they going to do for that? We’ve keep him hydrated, at least, since he is still able to cry tears…but he hasn;t gone #2 in 7 days! Probably because he won;t eat more than a bite or two of anything. What kid refuses everything?! I feel so sick…like we never should have done the surgery…like the surgeon took my kid away and give me this one. I’m just at a loss. And husband and I are miserable anyhow, since it’s the one year anniversary of my husband’s families death. sorry. I just don;t have anyone else to talk to, and at least most of you all are parents too…

Thanks everyone! We’re home. Our surgeon said everything went textbook perfect. He apparently had 2 monster sized tonsils which were causing him to have sleep apnea. But letting him go into the OR with the doctor and the nurse was really hard! He’s ok, but was really upset when he came out of the anesthia. Now he’s abit loopy and sleepy from the meds. But we’re home, watching Nemo. Hopefully he’ll be feeling better in a few more days. Thanks for the support!
