Tonsils, take 2! This last Tuesday, the 8th, Grant had his tonsils and adenoids out! (adenoids is not easy to spell, but I've gotten plenty of opportunity to perfect it!) The same Dr. McMasters took Grant's out and he said that his adenoids were blocking 90% of his nasal passageway. So imagine number 4 on this diagram below enlarged to mostly filling that cavity they are in.
Grant breathes through his nose now, something he hasn't ever done on a regular basis. He is doing great now; eating and drinking and playing and done with the medicine. He did not like the pain medication they prescribed and would fight every dose. He didn't eat or drink as much as Mairyn did, but then again, they are unique children in their own rights. He wasn't as nauseated as Mairyn was and so, went home from the hospital sooner, but he was more stubborn about everything. I'm glad we have this behind us and I won't be dealing with so many sore throats and fevers this next year. YAY!!
