Can you keep Luke in your thoughts too please?
Luke had a tonsillectomy past Thursday and it has been a lot harder than I thought it would be. I knew he would be in pain and I knew to expect a week of healing but I did not think it would be THAT much pain and last that long. We are on day 5 and he just seems worse today than yesterday. He is in so much pain and I feel so helpless.
Please keep him in your thoughts in addition to his daycare mom's husband.
Is it just me or has 2011 been a pretty bad year. No matter who I talk to, including our own family.,. it seems like this year has been full of heart ache, physical pain, mental pain, sickness and death. Did anyone else notice that?
On top of that the earthquake, hurricane, amount of rain .... I know I am a downer right now and my perspective is probably completely compromised by worry, but sometimes I wonder if that is what the beginning of the end of the world feels like
Re: Can you keep Luke in your thoughts too please?
I know that it is different for everyone but have you tried calling his doctor about it hurting so bad still? My daughter had her tonsils out last year and while she was in a bit of pain at first it did seem better by the end of the week. It might be worth it to have it checked and make sure that the incision area is not infected. That could possibly be why its still hurting so bad.
In any case I hope he starts feeling better soon.

Ok, I just talked to my coworker. He described his son's recovery exactly as you did and said his doctor told him it was very normal. After about a week, the scabs start peeling off and it is like a new wound again, very raw and tender. He said all he could do was keep giving him the tylenol/advil and that it sucks for a few days but it does get better. He said his son hasn't really been sick since.
Hope he's feeling better!!
I had this surgery a few years ago and recovery was hell. I was miserable for two weeks straight. I would call his doctor to double check but it's not necessarily abnormal that he's taking this long to heal.
If it's any consolation, the surgery was worth the pain for me. I don't know why Luke had the surgery but I had it because I had chronic Strep. I'd get it every few months and my tonsils were always swollen. Since the surgery, I haven't gotten sick at all. Hopefully, Luke will feel better soon and whatever pre-surgery issues he was having will go away.
