Adenoidectomy Surgery

YX had an adenoidectomy surgery to remove his enlarged tonsils and adenoids. I was feeling very emotional, at the same time worried when YX drifted off to sleep under the anaesthesia. I was asked to leave the OT while they grab the child onto the bed and the surgery began. After half an hour or so, we were asked to enter the resting area where YX was there waiting for the anaesthesia to wear off. I saw him vomiting and crying hoarsely for me. He was assured and went back to sleep after he saw me. It was heartbreaking at that point in time seeing him like that. Thank goodness the operation went well and Prof Tan assured us that YX will have a speedy recovery.

We were lucky to be given A class ward as the B wards are full. YX having his dinner.

The boy was still very chirpy, happy with his milo and biscuit snack.

Fasting starts after that.

Changed into the operation gown waiting to go into the op theatre.

Out of the OT in half an hour's time and still under anaesthesia. 

In pain and poor kid was so grouchy and frowning away. No smiles until .... 

the ice-cream came. However, he barely took two spoons of it when he whimpered and cry in pain again.

YX recovered well and fast. He took ice-cream for the next 2 days. He had to be on soft diet for a week.

YX, you are a very brave boy! We are very proud of you!

Stay strong and healthy! We love you!

Thank you to all my dear friends for your care and concerns. It was a smooth and successful operation and we are very glad to see YX happy and healthy again.
