On Friday June 11th, Colson had a second surgery. Last summer he had tubes put in his ears to help with the fluid and ear infections. We have had tons of success this year with only having one infection! Now it was time for adenoids to be removed. We have switched ENT Drs and I love Dr. Cordes so much. She is very thorough and I really get a warm feeling rather than an "out to get your money" feeling! She said he is too young for tonsils and may not end up needing them removed at all but after a quick peek she new the adenoids needed to be scraped! Colson did very well getting up early and not having anything to eat or drink so I was relieved with that! He went right back in his bed after he was given some loopy meds and he was in a dazed state with no problem. About 20 minutes later she came back and said the adenoids were HUGE! This is coming from a very calm and quiet dr! She said we should see some huge improvements with his snoring (the kid snores like a 90 year old), and drooling...we are hoping for some speech improvements too! His recovery was great....once the meds wore off he was ready to go...crazy kid!
Early in the morning..."What are y'all doing to me??"
He loved his gown and refused to take it off to leave!
He got a surgery hat and his little dog they gave him got one too!
So of course Daddy had to try it on too! I love this picture!
They both look "loopy" but just Colson was given the meds!
He came out of surgery ok...just a little confused! The worse part was getting all of the tape off of the IV and hand!
Looking at Daddy to drum! Had to wear his gown home...his mouth is opened to help him breathe...I know not the best shot!
Another friend of mine had the surgery on her son last week too. He was having Speech delays and they were hoping this would help!
