First time parent moment

For the first time as parents we watched out little Noah get taken in for surgery yesterday. He had his tonsils & adenoids removed. He has had trouble with them for the last year and when he got tonsillitis this summer the specialist said lets take them out sooner rather than later.
The doctor said his tonsils and adenoids were so big his wrist got tired trying to get them out. We are guessing that is big. The anesthesia was hard for him to come out of, he is very much like his mom in that aspect. He would forget to breath just like his mom always does. He was gone from us less than 40 minutes, there wasn't even time to catch a quick nap.
Yesterday and last night were rough with no one getting much sleep but today seems to be better. I observed him sleeping with his mouth closed today, something he has never been able to do because of enlarged tonsils and adenoids.
We can't thank our Moms enough for there help with Noah so we could sleep a little and eat a little. Here's hoping tonight is better and we can all get some sleep.

I'm glad the surgery went well. And how cute does he look in his little surgical gown?!

Glad it went well! Poor Noah, surgery is no fun, but I'm sure he'll feel better now! Our niece Lily got her tonsils out a year or two ago (she was about 2 1/2 I think). Her parents had a hard time knowing that she was still breathing at night because she didn't snore anymore! Hope he gets feeling better soon.

He looks so tiny in his gown and hospital socks!

I also forget to breathe when I come out of anesthesia. Weird :) It's actually worse for me when I'm on hard pain meds. I just opt not to take them so I can actually stay alive :)

Glad the little tyke is doing well! Here's to a quick recovery.

I just saw you had a blog and was going through old posts. Surgery on your baby is something I wouldn't wish on anyone. Watching Marsi go off with the doctors was heart wrenching. I am glad the surgery went well.
