Well, my son is a bit more anxious about his surgery next week. He’s getting his tonsils and adenoids out. A sleep study showed what my husband and I have known for years - he doesn’t sleep at night. He suffers from sleep apnea and wakes at least twice AN HOUR.
So the ENT scheduled his surgery and since telling my son about it he’s had one main question: Do I have to get a shot?
Well, I told him, no and yes. It’s not a shot. But it is a poke. I figured they would give him an IV. So I didn’t want to lie!
I got great news from the hospital today - they’re going to knock my son out before putting in the IV for the surgery. He will have to keep the IV in overnight, but I think he will be able to handle that. In the meantime, my husband and I are stocking up on a few new Lego sets to keep him busy while he recovers.
