Ummm That he has HUGE tonsils??? ROFL If the dentist has trouble counting his teeth, just bring this picture, or another like it along! Problem solved! HA!
I'm slow in following up on follow-up comments. LOL Yeah, doing them both at the same time would be awful! BLECH! Bad idea for the parents. One or both of them might totally surprise you and do really well with the post-op stuff, but usually the first week is REALLY rough, and for Angela it was a good 3 weeks until I could say she was really back to herself. (she was also much older, and the older they are, the harder it is.) But, what you CAN do is schedule other things at the same time! Like a teeth cleaning from the dentist while they're out, or ear tubes if they need them, or an ABR if anyone needs it, or tear duct probes. We called these "going in for tune-ups". LOL How's their sleep? Are they restless? Angela flopped around like a fish due to the apnea caused by the large tonsils.
So yeah, have fun with all of that stuff! Oh man, I forgot to put the ENT on Axel's list of people to see when we get home. LOL
I am the mom of 8...it just happened! When we felt as though our plate was full, God dished us up some dessert. You know...there is ALWAYS room for dessert....right? Along came Ricky, and nearly 4 years later Stas. I LOVE Down syndrome. If people knew what our family experiences with our kids with DS, they would envy us :-) Not bragging, just saying.
ahhh, speechless actually!
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes that boy has a mouth on him :)

ReplyDeleteHe has "3+" tonsils....Ricky too. The doctor promised not to take them out at the same time. Will need to do it in the future...NEAR future?? Maybe??
