No More Adenoids/Tonsils

Today started very early ... Mommy and Daddy got up at 4am to make sure Lucas got to Children's Memorial Hospital on time. Lucas actually stayed awake for most of the drive, and we arrived at the hospital at 6:30am. Lucas did pretty well, all things considered. After having the wristband on for a bit, he decided he didn't like it and was really upset about it. He also wasn't a fan of the shot they gave him to make him loopy (who would be?!?). The shot worked, though, and he wasn't even phased when they took him away.

After surgery, Lucas just wanted to be held ... so he slept off and on on top of Mommy for a while. He became a little more alert a couple of hours later and eventually decided to have some jello. Another nap, and then we went to visit the play area. They even have Lucas's kitchen there!



According to the nurses, Lucas needed to consume 12 or so ounces of fluid before they would allow him to leave. They normally keep kids overnight to make sure they are well hydrated when they leave. By the time we left the hospital at 6:30pm, Lucas had eaten no less than 12 jellos, 3 popsicles and some juice ... no hydration problems there.


He had his moments, but overall Lucas did an awesome job ... Mommy and Daddy are very proud of him!
