Peyton is such a trooper, yesterday he had his tonsils and adenoids taken out as well as a Turbinate Reduction (tissue removed from the inside of his nose). He's been having trouble with snoring and apnea due to his large sized tonsils and adenoids. He also has problems with asthma and allergies and frequent upper airway infections. The doctor said making more room in there by removing all the inflamed tissue would help lessen all these chronic problems.
Peyton was pretty scared at first and even tried to talk Dan and I out of taking him to the hospital. He was so brave and hardly cried (before the procedure). They gave him some Versed to make the separation from Dan and I easier. I was a little freaked out because the Versed really did a number on him, he was still conscious but limp and really out of it. After the procedure he was really upset because he just felt yucky! Once we broke out the transformer we got him he was a little better. He just wanted to go home. The worst part was taking out the IV, well, taking off the tape to take out the IV. Who woulda thought??? I was and am a little upset because they poked him 14 times to do the IV and get some blood for some allergy testing. Luckily he was unconscious for it, but still that makes it even worse!! Who's the crappy nurse or phlebotomist who has to poke 14 times on a child that isn't even moving!!?!?!? P has bruises all over and he is complaining of the spots hurting, my poor baby! Overall it went OK , Peyton is a real tough kid!
He was given this super cute giraffe, he named him Lightning McQueen.

You have tough kids. Peyton is so cute. I hope we don't have to eventually resort to the same for Icky. Good luck with the recovery. If you need soup Garrick and I would be happy to deliver some.
What a tough little man you have! 14 pokes is pretty ridiculous, so I don't blame you for being bugged!
Laura, sorry I haven't been a commentor lately. What a tough cookie you have on your hands, that is one big day! At first when I glaced at your title, I thought you were going to say you "making more room" for more kids!hahah! Way to go to Peyton for being such a big boy. I would have been scared myself!
Peyton is such a trooper. He really is the perfect child. Or maybe it just seems that way next to my precious Landen. Anyway, let us know if we can do anything. I think it is so cute that he named his giraffe Lightening McQueen!
Poor kid!
ivs suck in the first place... (worst part of childbirth) but 14 pokes!?! on a sweet kid!?! poor boy...
Oh, what a brave little man and brave parents! I would have been a wreck! I hate seeing little kids scared and in pain. I am glad all went well. I hope he will be feeling better soon.
oh poor kid!! I hope it works well for him!
Oh..so sad! I can't believe it took the girl 14 pokes! What a joke! Looks like you'll be eating a bunch of ice cream. Hope he's doing okay.
Eww, that is not fun! Michael only had his tonsils out, and that was bad enough. Poor little man! I hope his pain eases quickly!! I think I am going to have that tissue reduction thing done. Ugh!
Your kids are so tough! I'm glad he's getting through it all with a smile! And your yard looks so fun! Congrats. I love seeing good friends lives be so happy!
Sweet little Peyton. Tell him congrats on being a tough little kid. I hope he's feeling much better and that this solves the problem. Your fence and swingset look awesome! We will be over one of these days for sure!
