My son had sinus surgery and his tonsils out today. His nose is packed, so he can't breath through it at all and he's having lots of pain in his throat. He did well with popsicles but the mashed potatoes made him feel like his throat (his only airway) was blocked and he couldn't breath. Poor kid. I guess it's popsicles, jello, yougurt, etc. for at least a few days. The packing comes out on Thursday - that will help, I'm sure.
