Recovery

Christian had his adenoids removed on Monday, and he's recovering well. He's not quite back to his normal self. My sweet happy boy is a very whiny, cranky and did I mention whiny little boy today. Worst of all, his perfect speech now has this nasal twang to it that makes him sound like the annoying kid at the grocery store stomping his feet for more candy. Ugh. I hope that my cutie pie returns soon. I don't think that has CI recovery was this draining. Maybe it was because he couldn't talk yet...

Although a really easy surgery and quick procedure, we still had to keep some potential complications in mind due to Christian's Cochlear Implant. Our ENT did not electrically cauterize the wound, since there was a chance it could interfere with Christian's electrodes. Everything went well, and we're really hopefully that this surgery will put a stop to the constant sinus infections and crusty noses that Christian has gone through the past 6 or so months.

Hope Christian feels better soon and is his normal self again! He may be talking "nasally" because he is still swollen, etc. and can't hear himself like he normally can. Hang in there! Give him lots of popsicles!

Hoping your sweet little man is back to himself very soon. YAY for crustless noses and no more antibiotics for sinus infections...
