Do you? I can tell you I know that Jacob's are not where they used to be. I'm sure you can't wait to learn more about Adenoids (aka Pharyngeal tonsil) so go ahead, give it a click.
Jacob had his adenoidectomy procedure this past Tuesday. I'm here to tell you that it went about as well as we could have hoped. We got to the Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary before 7:30am on Tuesday and we were back at home before 1pm. Jacob was very brave! He had general anestesia and came through it without any side effects. He was back at school on Thursday.
The doctors decided it was time to take this step for many reasons, the goal was to help clear his constant state of congestion... they suggested this may also help with his general disinterest in all things 'food'.
When Jacob fell asleep on Tuesday night, he slept nearly silently, the noises we had been accustomed to hearing (loud snoring/breathing) were totally gone. In the days since the procedure he's told me "I'm hungwee Daddy" more frequently than he did in the prior 2 years.
I'm very happy we did it, and that its over. Next up, first trip to the dentist... scheduled for early April.
