We took Sidney to his pre-op appointment today and his tonsils are still enlarged. I was hoping against hope that they would miraculously shrink and we would not have to have them removed.

He is scheduled for surgery on Friday, Sept. 2 - the tentative time is 8am. The time will be confirmed tomorrow. Roger dropped off the prescription for his antibiotics (a preventative measure to stave off infection) and pain killer. We have been warned that day 5 of recovery is the worst because that's when the scabs come off and his throat will be raw and painful.

We will load up on icy treats and milk so that he can eat/drink something when he's up to it.

We know we are doing the best thing for him but I am dreading the pain he will be in.
