Haegen's Tonsil's

So yesterday Haegen had his Tonsil's out. Dr. Catten said they were huge. He said that if there was a book on tonsil's Haegen would be on the first page. I knew when Haegen was a baby he would probably need them out because it sounded like he had a hard time breathing when he was asleep. Well last May he got tonsillitis really bad, they had to give him steroid's to shrink them. You could hear him trying to breath. So Dr. Beals referred him to Dr. Catten and there we have it. I am glad we got it done before school starts. Here Haegen is waiting to go back he was in a really good mood and did not act scared at all. He was just coloring while he waited. With his blanket and Bear. This is the Bear I talked about in a previous post, when he said he couldn't sleep down stair's so he went up stair's and pretended that his bear was Bryce so he could get to sleep. Isn't that the cutest thing you have ever heard. I am glad that they are so close.
He is just being goofy and almost getting board of the wait.
They finally came to get him and he just said by mom love you. This little girl next door went after Haegen and she was crying it was so sad. I'm glad Haegen didn't hear her, I don't know if he would have been so brave if he knew some one else was sad.
They brought him back to us after the surgery and he was just fine just really tired. He didn't even cry when he wok up. He saw me and said Hi mom and then went back to sleep.
We had him eat a Popsicle right after, they like to make sure he can keep it down. He eat the whole thing.
Then he fell back to sleep.
Here is dad checking the clock while Haegen was gone.
Seams like forever, when it was only 30 min.
So I am just glad that it is all over with. I am so thankful that it was only tonsil's. As they wealed him away I thought about those parent's and children who are being wealed away for a really serious surgery like heart or brain or something major like that and how they must feel and that I am so lucky that I haven't ever had to go threw some thing that horrible. I thank my Heavenly Father each day that I have healthy children. I am so very blessed.
So on a lighter note....the day before I got Haegen some movies to watch and I saw Gremlins, I said oh mom watched this movie when I was little, So they had to get it and I was telling them oh see how cute they are then after midnight if they eat they turn into these little monsters. So the night before the surgery the boys were in the tub and I said ok Haegen you can't eat or drink after midnight tonight. Bryce looks at me with this funny look and said "Why mommy Haegen will turn into a monster"? I just started laughing...I said no because the Doctor told me he can't or he will throw up during his surgery. Bryce said oh, It was so funny. It is amazing what they think of. My boys hear everything.
