On Monday, November 19th, Jeffrey had his tonsils and adenoids taken out at Children's Hospital in Boston. He had been getting a lot of throat infections and his breathing interferes with his sleeping.
The surgery was a success and I am happy to report that he has not snored since the operation! Jeffrey did great! He was so excited to be there and made friends with every staff member he met. He and I slept one night at the hospital because of his age. It was like a big sleepover with all the movies and ice cream we wanted! He was discharged the following day with pain medication and an antibiotic. He was running a slight fever which got a little higher - to the point I had to call the ENT on call Wednesday and Thursday night. He is better now and has started really eating again...not the foods he would really like to have but the softer ones he is allowed to have for now.
