JJ's Tonsils

JJ had his tonsils out on Monday. It was the day after his birthday. He woke up that morning throwing up and having diarrhea so I thought they would send us home and say to wait for another day. They said that he wasn't acting sick though so they decided to go ahead with it. He did really well during surgery and they said it was a good thing he had them out too because there was a lot of infection in them. This week he has had a tough time with recovery. He doesn't want to eat or drink much and is just drinking enough to keep hydrated. We are hoping that next week will be better and that he will be back to his normal self soon. They also did an endoscopy and said that he doesn't have EE which we are very grateful for. He does have some inflammation in his esophagus so he is going to take some acid blocking medicine for 3 months. They think it was caused by his tonsils though so we are hopeful he will be done with the medicine after 3 months.

Poor guy. I hope he feels better soon. Good luck. I'm sure it's not easy on you either.
