Sources closest to Poulsen, 31, say she’s an “Emotional Wreck” and “Scared” about going through with the surgery for 2 year old son, Grady!

Giggles. I was just reading US online and thought “why do they always quote celebrities like that?” And, “why do they have to put their ages next to their names? All. The. Time.”  Weird.

Anyways, it’s happening. Mr. Potato throat is going to get those nasty tonsils out.  No more Darth Vadar jokes, no more stinky breath, no more choking, no more sleep apnea and no more “What’d you say, mom?”.  In addition to a nasty throat, poor Grady has had fluid in his ears for months and we just can’t get rid of it!

So, after $200 in co-pays and 3 specialists later – we are doing it. The same doctor who, 28 years ago, put tubes in Johnny’s ears will be doing the surgery.  She will be removing Grady’s tonsils, adenoids and putting in ear tubes.

Here is a picture of G-Man.  Obviously happy waiting to be seen by one of the 3 docs who’s name we won’t mentioned. We waited in this waiting room for 1.5 hours. This is also where I picked up my nasty cold/sinus infection that lasted 3+ weeks. Argh!

Everyday I have been writing down things I need to get done, even though the surgery is still two weeks away. I’m a planner. If the date is set for something, I have everything planned out ASAP! Clothes packed, snacks in little baggies, and usually an itinerary/list for the “babysitter”.  I’m glad I have such supportive family members. Everyone has already stepped up and asked where they can help and believe you me, they will. Keighley, your guest room is already set up and ready for you! Ha Ha!

Right now, my list includes items like:

• “Cami can take Trey to preschool Friday morning and pick up”
• “Can Trey stay the night at G-Deb’s Thursday night?
• “Who will be taking Trey to his Sat. am baseball game?”

Intense, right?

Oh, by the way, did I tell you that Grady has to stay overnight at Desert Banner Hospital? Yep.

Have I mentioned -  when I asked if Grady will have his own room that night, they said they “we’re not sure, it depends on how crowded it is.”

Did I tell you – when I asked for a bed for Preggers Muah, they said, “oh will you be staying the night too?”. Duh! My son is 2. She then told me they have a recliner. Ah yes, the old recliner. My husband knows this chair all too well. He never slept in it while I had my babies. He’d go home to be a bit more comfy. Lucky me, I handled the first night with a newborn, alone.  Sigh! I can’t wait to sleep on a nasty old leather recliner with my pregnant, uncomfortable self.

The sacrifices we mothers make.

If you can look past the beauty of my MIL and the adorableness of my newborn baby, Grady, then you may see said lovely purple reclining chair. Looks comfy doesn’t it? NOT!
