Sometimes simple is complicated

Damonito is at a much greater risk for seizure when he's sick or tired. That's where the good days/bad days come in. If he's had trouble sleeping usually a bad day will follow. If he has too many bad days in a row he could land in the hospital because his seizures will be uncontrollable. So sleep is very important. Part of the reason he hadn't been sleeping so well was because he wasn't breathing well while he was sleeping. So, to help with his breathing the doctors removed his tonsils.
A tonsillectomy is outpatient surgery these days. They wanted to keep Damonito over night for observation. When his system is compromised everything is vulnerable. He went into and out of surgery like a champ. Afterall, he'd had brain surgery. This would be a walk in the park.
So we thought.
Three grand mal seizures during the night changed everyone's opinion. His oxygen levels had dropped dangerously low and he had to be moved to PICU (pediatric intensive care unit).
He had become comatose and for three days we weren't sure he was going to come out of it. This was one of the times they called in the chaplan.
Not much comfort after a tonsillectomy.
