The Magicalness That is My Firstborn

This morning, Trent had his adenoids out. The whole process was super smooth and easy. The procedure took maybe 30 minutes from when they wheeled him off. His doctor said he had about 50% nasal blockage, so it was definitely necessary to do! I'm so glad we had this done. Recovery, so far, has been a breeze. He cried for about 30 minutes when he woke up - he was confused and in some pain. But since then he has been totally normal and has refused any pain medicine. Overall a great big success!

Pre-op cuteness

I'm sure he's wondering why he can't have unlimited movies, snacks and new toys every day!

And just in case you wondered how he felt...

Another Mom Moment Where I Will Likely Overreact

Thursday morning, Trent is having his adenoids taken out. {His dentist noticed he's a mouth breather, and an ENT confirmed his are swollen. He is probably not getting quality sleep because of this, and it might be contributing to his aggression/behavior issues.} 

It is a completely routine procedure. He will be under anesthesia for about an hour, and we'll be at the surgery center for probably 4-5 hours total. So all-in-all totally simple...

But he's my baby. And it's anesthesia and surgery. And just over 6 months ago he spent 6 days in the hospital as a very, very sick little boy.

So I am trying not to be a freak-out mom about this. Normal. Routine. Simple. Trying to focus on those words. And still kinda tearing up when I think about it. {grin} So any good ju-ju you lovely readers could send our way, I'd appreciate!

I mean...it's starting to get a bit creepy, right?
