Tonsils

Julien has HUGE tonsils!  The Dr's use a 1-4 scale and Julien's Dr said that his were a 4+...they were basically touching!  They were so huge that he was having trouble breathing at night.  He snored super loud and had sleep apnea.  So needless to say they had to go!  We told Julien that he had to get his tonsils and adenoids taken out and that it meant he would have to go to the Dr but that he would get to eat all the ice cream and cold treats that he wanted...he couldn't wait!

So excited for cold treats...poor kid had no idea what was coming!

 He was so happy and brave!  He thought it was so cool that he got to go to the hospital that Kai has been to and played with the same toys and worn the same clothes that he had seen in Kai's pictures.

 After surgery...this is about the time that he started to realize that he was not given all the details about getting his tonsils out and that maybe it was not so cool after all...which made my heart hurt.

The next 2 weeks were pretty tough...the recovery was worse than we had expected and Julien and I got very little sleep.  Julien would wake up screaming and say that he wanted his tonsils back  : (
This surgery was may more intense than I thought.
He has now fully recovered though and is doing great...no more snoring or complaining that he can't breath...so I guess it was worth it!
