Tonsillectomy & adenoidectomy as well as tubes!

Ka

Hello! My 3 year old just had a consultation with an ENT today after having many ear infections and strep throat and he is having surgery to remove his tonsils and adenoids as well as get tubes put in. I'm super nervous as the doctor started talking about all the things that could happen during surgery and if he gets a tonsil bleed he'll need to be rushed to the ER 😳 I know they have to tell you the what ifs but now I'm so nervous.

Anyone else have this procedure done on their kids at age 3? How was the healing process? Was it awful or did your 3 yo bounce back pretty quick? We're doing it on a Thursday so luckily he'll have all day Friday and all weekend to rest.
