Recovering from T/A

[nica1]

Well, Adam had his tonsils and adenoids out Mon. all went well. (Thank God!!!! I was sooooo nervous!!) His oxygen level kept dropping which scared me a little but they said this sometimes happens. And had we had him hooked up to monitor he was probably never getting the right amount of oxygen, but in a couple of weeks he should finally be breathing better!!!!! Had a great day yesterday, but today was alot harder, I think the Tylenol w/codeine is making him sick he was gagging this afternoon also he has been scratching himself all over. My sister said she thought this was a reaction from codeine. Called DR. office but have not heard back from them yet. I am hoping this will not be a long night ........... Hopefully we will have a better day tomorrow. Thanks to all who gave me great advice and your prayers, Monica

So glad it's over and behind you! Hopefully Adam will be feeling like himself SOON!

As for the scratching, Nicholas scratched like CRAZY after his heart surgery while he was on morphine, it about drove him crazy! He did better on just plain Tylenol!

I've been thinking about you guys! So glad it's behind you and it sounds like Adam (and Mom) is doing well. Is he home?

Monica,

Eric had trouble with the tylenol with codeine....I didn't give it to him till around the 8th day post -op, (thats when the scabs start coming off and its alittle raw), and he got a rash with it also. I had been giving him regular tylenol, so I switched back to that. It worked ok, and we got thru it. I know you CAN'T give Advil or Motrin because they may cause bleeding.
Hopefully the next week will go fine for you and he's back to his old self...............Dolly
