Well, the end is near...for my tonsils...

So, I went to my ENT today, he was awesome, and I have an announcement! I will be going in to have the tonsils removed from my body next Monday, October 6th at 1:15!!! WHOO HOO! My mom doesn't know yet, cause she is on a cruise, she said that she wants to be with me when I get it done, but the thing is, she doesn't get home till late Sunday or even monday. I couldn't wait because things get a little crazy around here starting Oct 22nd. This is the best time! Send some prayers out for my healing, and give me some good advice...you can also check back for for some wicked drug induced blog posts!!

Don't talk! It was eerily quiet here for a couple of weeks because Sam wasn't talking. (He NEVER stops talking.) Sam's tonsils were so big that he had to learn how to swallow again. For the first few days when he swallowed after the surgery, the liquid would come out his nose! It was hysterical! Drink, drink, drink alot. And enjoy the painkillers! We'll be praying for you. Love, Linda

Sam refused to eat much of anything and wound up losing almost 15 pounds in two weeks. He was afraid to swallow for fear the food would come out his nose like the liquids! So I can't help you much there. The nurses recommended slushies (YUM!), popsicles, jello, etc. If you're a true Poeppel girl, you won't have any trouble eating afterward. ; )

Do what the Doctor says to do! After the surgery, the nurse will give you a list of things to do and not to do. Follow those instructions as well.
Dont be surprised at how much it hurts. Just take another pill.
Love you lots sweetie pie!
Let me know if there is any thing I can do for you!
