On Friday we had Tate's tonsils and adenoids removed. Everything went really well. He was such a good sport and was very cooperative pre-surgery. They gave him a sedative while we were with him. There is something so adorable about a loopy little guy. The surgery only lasted about 15 minutes! After surgery he was pretty mad. He didn't want the IV in his hand, and he just wanted to go home. As soon as we got to the car he was just fine. All in all, it was a success! Here are a few shots from the day. I asked if we could see the tonsils, and they told me it was not allowed, so his nurse snuck my camera back for me to take some pictures of him and the bio hazardous waste... thanks nurse! :0)
yes i know this picture is blurry (the nurse took it)... but i like it anyway. i'm not sure if he is cheering because he is excited, or if he is showing his muscles. either way it shows what a good sport he was, even after they wheeled him away.
YUMMY!!!

Hi Amanda,
Of course I don't mind you looking at our blog - not my old Visiting Teaching buddy :) It's fun to see your 2nd little boy too. It looks like Dental School is going well for you guys!
ok did your doctor say he needed them out? My ady always gets strep, which is odd for a 3 year old. And I have wondered if she needs hers out?!?
Tate will be so glad you had him do it at his age and not as an adult. Just ask Cameron and Amy. So glad the surgery went well.
He is such a trooper! So cute! Glad all went well! We love this little guy!
those were some HUGE tonsils! Good thing you got them out! What a good boy Tate!!
I LOVED LOVED LOVED seeing you! It was so fun to chat and just be with you! Come home soon!
