Well we are going onto the third day and things have been going pretty well. The surgery was a success and really didn't take too long. The doctor told us that he had big tonsils and adenoids so it was good that we got them out.
I was going to take lots of pictures to show everyone but of course the batteries died at the hospital and all I was able to get was one picture and it wasn't very good so you will all have to use your imaginations!!
When we first got to the hospital Payton was a little hesitant on what was going on. The nurse came in to give him the hospital gown and he didn't want anything to do with it. He was ok when they were taking his vitals but didn't want his dad to leave his side. We watched cartoons for a while and then they came in and gave him his medicine. This was when I got really upset that the batteries died on my camera cause this was pretty funny. I don't know what it was that they gave him but he was pretty relaxed afterwards! I guess some might say he was acting a little drunk lol. At one point he was grabbing at air and when we asked him what he was doing he just looked at us and laughed. It was pretty humourus. So after about fifteen minutes they came in and put in his IV. He did really well with that and didn't cry or anything. Then they took him off to surgery and about a half hour later they came to get us and let us know he was done and awake.
It was kind of hard seeing him all incomopacitated and hurting. But it seemed that once I layed with him he was ok and went back to sleep. After that he was in and out of it for a while. Family stopped by and that was nice. Then as the anestesia wore off Payton started to get a little onry! Actually he kicked us out of his room. So Sam and I and Parker hung out in the hall for a little bit until he decided we could come back in.
After a while the nurse felt he had had enough liquids and let us come home. It was a little rough when we came home. But now we are doing good and I think he will be back to his old self in no time!!

It is good to hear he is doing so well. I love that he is a "funny drunk". Isabelle had to be put on an I.V. with 5% alchohol when we thought she might have tasted anti-freeze. She was definately a "mean drunk" she just kept hitting us and giving us really mean looks.
I'm so glad that he's alright! Luke had that medicine for a procedure once and was hallucinating and told me all about what he was seeing (smoke and such). The nurse said she was surprised he was so calm - kids usually get pretty wild mood swings with it. Kids are amusing - even in their most difficult times. :)
That's awesome that the surgery was so quick. You sound like you've handled it well yourself!
That would have been fun to see some punchdrunk pics...oh,well. ;)
I can't believe how fast your kids have grown! I love the names you chose and they are both cuties. Glad the surgery went well:)
