William had his tonsil and adenoid surgery on Tuesday morning. The whole procedure was surprisingly quick. We arrived at 9:30 to fill out paperwork and they took us back to meet with the doctor, anesthesiologist, and nurses by 10:00. We chatted briefly with everyone and then they took William back for the procedure. He was so calm and relaxed - they didn't have to give him anything for nerves. The surgery lasted about 45 minutes and we were able to see him very soon after it was done. He woke up quickly and without any issues. He had some juice and a popsicle and we were on our way home by noon. He is such a trooper! He is on pain medicine every 3 hours. He says his throat hurts but has been eating soft foods: mac and cheese, pudding, and ice cream. He only woke up once during the night. He's been reading, watching some movies and catching up on school work.
