[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]best decision we ever made.

Stay ahead of the pain meds.
The recovery took a full 2 weeks before my son was feeling mostly normal.

Days 2 and 3 were tough and then close to day 10 because the scabs were falling off.

warm drinks were soothing--he drank barely warm hot chocolate for almost two weeks.

before the tonsillectomy, my kid was tired all time despite sleeping (well, maybe being in bed) for 13 hours (as a 5 year old).  he was waking up two times a night to pee or because of a bad dream.  He didn't want to participate in activities and was generally grumpy.  Our lives were ruled by his sleep schedule and he often times didn't see his dad because he was in bed by 6pm.  We had to say "no" to almost every offer of evening activities because we had to have him asleep by 6.  His grandparents could not handle this and caused some legit tension.  After the surgery, he sleeps 11 hours a night.  wants to be involved in activities. can go to bed late one night and not be a mess for days.  He is so pleasant to be around.  I'm almost tearing up thinking about how bound to a 6pm bedtime we used to be.

Oh! and right or wrong, the familial tension has eased because we can ease up about bedtimes....
