Sebby goes to Hospital

After many years of snoring, bad coughs, difficulty breathing at night etc. and GPs telling us that was normal kids stuff, I finally took Seb to an ear nose and throat specialist recently. One look at his tonsills which touch when he says aaaahhh, overgrown adenoids, and a blocked ear, he was booked in for a routine op to sort them out. He was booked in at the local hospital, for arrival at 7:15am! As they can't eat before the op they try to get the young ones in first. The op was about 45 minutes, and he was in recovery room about 10:30.

He was booked in to stay the night. His main issue was the drip needle in his hand, and the fact that his gown had a pink trim rather than blue. He was fine, if a little tired and wobbly after the event. He just wanted to go home. After a lunch of yogurt, ice cream and milk shake he felt much better. The doctor agreed he could come home and not stay the night by dinner time, about which he was very pleased. He was amazingly fine the following days. He'd just wake up once a night with a raging sore throat and need medicine, but apart from tiredness he's been great. And he has stopped snoring immediately. Wow.
