Today was the big day of surgery for Charles, who lost another tooth on Tuesday, leaving him with no upper front teeth. It was only fitting that they scrape his adenoids out as well.
Charles wasn’t allowed to have any food or drink after midnight, which he took as major suffering, even though he had to be to the hospital by 7, an hour or so before he normally even wakes up. Still, he managed it and was being prepped by 8:30. Mom ended up staying there for a good while because Charles was slow to wake up from the anesthetic. Charles was a bit woozy afterwards, but by 1 PM he was able to suck down a cheeseburger at Steak and Shake, along with a chocolate shake.
When he got back, I gave him a cheering up present, another 200 planks of Kapla so he could make a bigger mess to drive Mom crazier even more elaborate play scenarios. He slept a lot in the evening. I suspect he’ll be bouncing around the house by 5 in the morning though.
