Over the surgery and doing fine

Well we went in for the surgery on Friday it was a late one. He went in to the OR at 2:45 pm. I had spoken to the doc before and told him my concerns about the tonsils once he heard that there was a safety issue with suctioning him he said "they have to go". He got through the surgery with no problems. The only thing was that his ear drums were contracted and his left one was the worst which he was surprised about. Once he put the new tubes in they came back almost to normal. The best thing was there was no new growth on the anenoids.
He was sent to the ICU and it was great as I was upstairs waiting for him not like the last time. The only thing different about this tube placement and tonsil removal was he is on both oral antibotics and a new antibotic ear drop. The best was we got to come home on Saturday straight from ICU. He was doing fine and they could see no issues with him going home.

Some have questioned as to why he now goes to ICU after surgery well he is a high risk patient due to his seizures and he is sent basically to cover their butts just incase something goes wrong afterwards.
