Stew's tonsils got evicted

This Morning we woke up and took Stew over to Madigan Army Hospital to have his tonsils out. He has always been a very loud snorer, and he has had night terrors since he was very little. At his 3 year check up the doc said that his tonsils were very big and needed to be checked by the ENT. The ENT said that they had to go along with their friends the adenoids. They think that his large tonsils may constrict his breathing at night and cause him to wake up in a panic, thus causing the night terrors. Stew did great today. He went to surgery like a pro, sped through recovery, and had the floor nurses eating out of the palm of his hand. He did so well that he did not have to stay the night. We were able to bring him home about 4pm. It was a long day for all, but hopefully it will help the snoring and the night terrors. Skoebie was so sweet today too. He answered Stew's every call. He held his hand when he was scared, gave hugs, got him tissues to wipe his nose and laid beside him in his hospital bed for comfort. These two boys are very sweet to each other. We were so proud of Stew today for being a big kid, and so brave. His biggest complaint the entire time was about the IV in his hand. Stew was also very good about drinking plenty of fluids today and he even was able to eat mac and cheese for lunch. I was impressed. He has been eating everything we would let him have ever since he woke up from surgery. He has been hungry all afternoon. He has eaten french fries, banana bread, shells and cheese, half a banana, green beans, and two Popsicles since we got home! You would think he missed more than just breakfast. We are just very glad to have him back home and healing. I will post pictures of our big day tomorrow. Until then...
