Surgery Day

Ever since Tony was hit by a truck we started noticing little things like the sleep apnea, loud snoring, restless sleeping, bloody noses ( on a daily basis) slurred speech etc. We all thought that these symptoms were just side affects from being druged on his head for 48 feet. So we when we moved back to Arizona I took Tony to the doctor for a check up and Dr. Coss had said that the symptoms weren't from his accident but because he had gross, large tonsils that were infected. This was in August that Tony had been seen by Dr. Coss, he referred Tony to Dr. Cox the Ear Nose and throat specialist but they couldn't see Tony until November 22nd, REALLY??? That was 3 and a half months away. On November 22nd we went to the ENT, the same guys who put 3 sets of tubes and took out Casey's Tonsils and took out Jared's Tonsils so I knew the doc and trusted him. When he looked in Tony's throat he said,'' Oh ya, these babies need to come out.'' Of course they will still large, gross and STILL infected. We set the date for surgery for Monday February 6th at 6:30 check in time and 7:30 surgery time. I knew Tony was gonna be alright be it was the simple fact that he had already been through so much in the past year. Tony came out of surgery kicking and screaming like I knew he would and I just curled up next to him in the bed and tried my hardest to soothe him. Thank Heavens Brandon was with me because it killed me once again to see Tony in that kind of Pain. It is now Thursday and unlike Casey and Jared ( eating solid food right after surgery) Tony is still in a ton of pain and constantly still running a fever, all he can eat is ice cream, Popsicles and soft foods. Anthony seems to be at his highest pain level in the middle of the night and the doc says that's because he has time to left everything in his mouth dry out so needless to say Tony and I do not get a ton of sleep at night. Although everyday is a little bit better the the day before, I cant wait until Tony is his little ole' self again


Not Sure what to think of this
