Bad Mom, No Biscuit

50 days ago by Laurie

Sometimes Mom’s have to do bad things. Back in July 2001 Sean went into Arkansas Children’s Hospital to have a tonsillectomy, have his adenoids removed and tubes put into his ears. He went in with a smile and feeling great … Before but came out feeling so bad that not even a Popsicle could make him ...

On Wednesday Lexi had her 3rd esophageal dilation. It was scheduled for 2pm, which I hate because that means she goes all day long without eating. On top of that, the procedure was after her nap time (1pm) so not only was she starving, but exhausted as well. Regardless of that, she did so well. The ...

Day 10

71 days ago by Christy

Wow. I really thought it would have been a lot better by now. I just took my last dose of prescription painkillers, so I’m hoping I can get more to tide me over till my 2 week checkup. I would say I’m at about 50%. As long as I’m taking the painkillers, I’m doing okay. I still can’t eat most things, ...

My Tonsillectomy Recovery : Part I

74 days ago by Liz

I'd just like to start out by saying that my tonsillectomy was not just a typical tonsillectomy. At the same time, I had a partial thyroidectomy as well. If you have read some of my past posts ( here, here, here, & here), you know that I spent the 6-months after Jake and I got married trying to figu ...

The wall next to my bed at my flat :) I'm currently recovering from my tonsillectomy at my Mum's house. As I'm sure you can imagine, I'll be good for nothing for a day or two, so please be patient while I sleep it off. I have lots of things to blog about while I'm laid up, so don't you worry! See yo ...

get rid!

78 days ago by little lyzi

As you can see, I'm very scared about my tonsillectomy. I've been worrying about it for two weeks and it's finally really happening today. I can't wait for these pointless tonsils to be gone, but I'm really scared about the process and the pain! :(

goodbye fever monster {part 2}

81 days ago by Corrina Beana

We left off with sweet Lily in the OR. The surgeon walked me back to Bean in the pre-op room (the anesthesiologist was doing her work in the OR) and then we headed to the waiting room. This is the building the surgery took place in and where we stayed that night. Our children's hospital separated th ...

The Day I Had My Tonsils Out

93 days ago by FadraN

The year was 1976. I remember because we had just moved to a new county and I was getting ready to start a brand new school. It was the summer before I started first grade. My mom bought me a pink giraffe nightgown with navy blue trim on it for my night in the hospital. When you’re 5 years old, the ...
