I think a tonsillectomy is part of a childhood.  Some have the surgery, some dont.  Max needed it as he had strep on five different occasions during the school year.  Both the pediatrician and the ENT said they need to come out.  Drag my feet later, I agreed.

This was Max's second surgery in life.  First was ear tubes when he was 18 months old.  The only thing I took away from that experience was the post-op, and the horrible state a child is in.  Yes, that was relived with this surgery.

Thankfully, the whole experience is behind us.  He's on the mend and almost back to himself.  I've missed my active, happy boy.
