About a two months ago, we noticed coleman's breathing at night getting really bad...scary bad. His ribs were retracting so bad, it looked like his ribs were going to snap in half going the opposite they are supposed to.
I took him to an allergy/asthma specialist and he said he needed his tonsils and adnoids out. He has been breathing through a hole smaller than that of a coffee stir stick since he was born (says the dr.). So we took him to an ENT doctor and scheduled the surgery. I wasn't nervous until we acutally had the date. I was really nervous about him getting dehydrated because he just wouldn't want anything. Well, he had his surgery last thursday and he was a champ!
We gave him tylenol that night at home and he hasn't had any pain killer since. Then next morning he asked for waffles...so we made some and he ate them. He is just acting like nothing has happened. It has been wonderful seeing as how I woke up the next day so sick. So, brad stayed home to take care of kids so i could rest.
anyway, we are so proud of coleman and how brave he was. I think mom and dad were more nervous about it then him. He can actually breathe through his nose at night now and i get worried because i can't hear him breathing...such a big change, but a good one!
