So, Chuck has breathing issues. He can't breathe out his nose when he runs. Chuck snores at night. Chuck is super tired all the time... you get the idea. So he had his deviated septum corrected on April 7th. I took him in to the surgery center and they got him all ready for the procedure that would last about an hour.
All dressed up in his surgery gear!
Getting ready to walk back into surgery...
Off he goes!!!
Trying to come to. He was a hard one to wake-up from the anesthesia!
Getting him to sit up... still half asleep!
So, he had the stints in his nose for 1 week. He had to sleep sitting in a recliner. Well, we don't own a recliner, so he slept in the reclining camp chair all week. (By the way, those chairs are quite comfy!)
So, after a week of a painful nose that kept dripping (he wasn't allowed to blow it), we went to the doctors office (I had to go to see what was up his nose) and the doctor pulled this out!
Beware... if you get queasy easy, it is gross (well, not to me), so brace yourself!
To see how big it was, I put it next to my cell phone. No wonder his nose hurt so bad this week! Mine would too with that shoved up it!
As soon as they (yes, one up each side) came out, he felt a lot better. And he asked if he could blow his nose and the doctor gave him the OK! So, now he can breathe again and is doing good. Hopefully it helps him sleep better so he can have more energy to hang with ME!!!

Mad: Mom, does he always sound like that?
(Chuck was snoring pretty loudly)
Me: Yes, all the time!
Mad: HOW do you sleep?!?!?

Note: His snoring has decreased since
the stints were taken out.
