ArthroCare ENT International"When I found out that Ethan would have to go through the surgery, I was very worried and concerned just because he's so young. I remember when my husband told me that, when he had his tonsils taken out when he was around 12, it was pretty painful for him and very uncomfortable so I was afraid that Ethan would have to go through the same painful surgery.
Well, within 24 to 48 hours after the tonsillectomy, Ethan was ready to eat cereal, chips, and pizza. My husband and I were more concerned with limiting what he could eat, but he was ready. He was feeling good."

"When Dr. Harley told me that my daughter needed a tonsillectomy, I became nervous. Her tonsils were literally touching in the back of her throat and I knew she had to have it done. I recalled the story of one of my coworkers who had his tonsils out and had two weeks of miserable pain. I hated the thought of my daughter having to experience that discomfort.
She had the surgery on a Friday and that evening did not complain about pain, but about how hungry she was. We fed her some Fig Newtons to calm her. On Saturday, we went for a walk in the park. I couldn't believe how resilient she was. I couldn't believe her appetite either. I was just amazed at her recovery."
