Tonsils are gone! Highlights of the day:
- Woke up @ 4:30am to get ready to go
- Arrived in Shreveport @ 7am, got lost, and had to ask for directions
- Joey finally goes back to surgery first @ 9:30am (2 hrs late!)
- Lindsey soon follows. When she awakes, immediately asks where Joey was. Doctor that that was really sweet
- Joey comes back to me, bleeding all over. Never had one to bleed like that. Today was not a good day to wear a white shirt (what was I thinking?)
- Lindsey comes back to us, very little bleeding if any at all. Doctor said she had a lot of scar tissue, and that her tonsils fell out themselves
- Joey coughed up a huge blood clot, and so thence, we had to stay an extra hour
- IV's out, we leave @ 2pm
- Arrive home with crying children @ 4pm
- Gave Joey 2 tsp of Tylenol w/codene
- Gave Lindsey 1 tsp of Tylenol w/codene
- WAIT! Why did Joey get 2 tsp? Call Poison Control and Walmart Pharmacy in Shreveport. Sure enough, prescription was not written clearly, and so dosage was entered wrong. Poison Control said he should be fine... just watch for respiratory distress. As of 8:15pm, he is good
- Feed Lindsey some ice cream, and got some water down her
- Nursed Joey, and he is back to sleep
Tomorrow is General Conference, so I am going upstairs with them, and chilling out on the recliner as I watch it. I've already told Shawn, mother-in-law and kids that I am not cooking tomorrow, so don't be expecting it. Unless, of course, I get a load of energy between now and tomorrow...
