On July 14th, Rowan had to get his tonsils and adenoids out, just like Hayden did two months ago, and he also got ear tubes put in. Just like Hayden, he was brave going in to surgery (although he hated putting on the hospital gown), and allergic to the codeine (red, puffy face). We tried hydrocodone instead, but he was slightly allergic to that, too (rash). He had a Spiderman glove (IV) and Ironman Boot (blood pressure cuff). He also loved playing with the train set in the play room when he spent the night at the hospital. However, just like Hayden, he was in pain, couldn't sleep or eat or drink, and cried constantly for about ten days straight. It was a good reminder for me of what it will be like in a month when baby Nadia comes. I'm sooo glad that Rowan is feeling better, and one of the first things he wanted to do when he started feeling better was to paint the dinosaurs that JJ & PopPop got Hayden for his birthday. Hayden was nice enough to share with his little brother. I love those boys, and I'm so glad that both of them can sleep better at night, since they don't have their huge tonsils and adenoids blocking their airways.
