Zander's Surgery

On Wednesday Zander had his tonsils and adenoids removed. This seemed like a long time coming. We first noticed how bad his snoring and sleep apnea was when we went to Utah for Christmas and had him sleeping in the same room as us. So finally 6 months later we were able to get his surgery done. We are so happy to have it done and over with. This poor kid would wake himself up numerous times each night and always be tired.

Here is the best before picture we could get. There isn't much room in there.

Zander is waiting for them to call him into surgery. He has no idea what is to come.

After surgery he got to watch Dora, his favorite thing to watch, and try to recover. Zander had a harder time than Zane did. He cried A LOT after the surgery. He hated the IV and monitor they put on his finger. He kept complaining to get it off.

Let me just say how much I love and appreciate Jeff. He took the day off to take Zander to get the surgery done and then stayed the night with Zander at the hospital. He had to wake up early to take him and then got no sleep the entire night (it was a shared room), and he dealt with a miserable Zander the whole time. Such a great husband and daddy to let me stay home. He was really tired.

Here is how it went.




Now we can't hear Zander snoring at all and he can FINALLY breath through his nose. Hallelujah!
