If your child had their tonsils and adenoids removed?

What was the whole procedure like from start to finish? What can I expect before, during, and after? What was recovery like?

My sons (5yrs old) surgery is scheduled for next week; and my anxiety has set in full force. I literally can't sleep at night and keep questioning myself if Im doing the right thing... (I mean I KNOW I am, but still wonder if Ill regret it (Im so morbid and always think the worst)

I literally can't sleep at night, thinking about all the terrbile what if's and Im thinking MAYBE if I had clearer understanding of the whole procedure my mind would stop wandering...

How are the children put under anesthsia? Do children typically have a reaction? (My mom told me a horror story about my brother going under; and now Im thinking Im not sure I even wanna be around when he goes under!) What are they like coming out of anesthsia?

At what points are you allowed/not allowed with your child?

How long is the surgery?

ANYTHING that you can tell me (good, bad and ugly- so that I am prepared) is helpful!

TIA

I was with both my sons up untill they were completely out in the or and then I had to leave. The recovery room was rough with my older and a piece of cake with the youunger one ( he was 5)
Nik was on tylenol with codeine for 24 hours then had no pain. He had more then just his tonsils and adnoids out and was fine. The surgeon had us keep him on the pain meds for a few more days just so he would rest and not cuse any problems healing. My older son who was 7 at the time was screaming from recovery untill a week after. He had a much harder recoovery and had only his tonsils and adnoids done. I think part ofthe difference is he has aspergers and was very very upset. I have to say they both are much healthier now.
