[ - ] My 3yo just had tonsils and adenoids out. Other BDTD moms -- did your child suffer 5-7 days later when the scabs came off? Or did they have a steady recovery. When did it seem like dc was all better? 5 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

No - my child had a great recovery. I would say it was really only a few days until they were 100%. Spent one day on the couch out of it, and we were up and about the next time. Really a great recovery. [ Reply | More

my nephew (3yr) will have this done next week. The Dr told my sis to prepare herself for a week from hell. He said the recovery is painful to many kids. How is your dc doing? [ Reply | More

OP: 5 days out. It's hard to tell what's physical and what's psychological. She is still waking a lot at night crying (before the surgery, I thought this was due to sleep apnea) and she cries out seemingly in pain when she eats certain things (blueberries, food too hot). But her level of activity is normal and most of the day she seems OK. [ Reply | More

np. When you don't have a job, you should keep your expenses (e.g., your monthly mortgage payments) as low as possible. You should not count on your money making money for you, and should be prepared for capital to lose value, which means investment income could go down in the short term. [ Reply | More

Are you in NYC? If so, and you go to a public school you are supposed to start K the calendar year you turn 5. I believe principals have the right to hold kids back for late K starts. If your child has an IEP when s/he turns 5 and ends up in a CTT or other more restrictive class then they would probably put the child in "K", but I believe the more restrictive classroom have a range of ages/grades in a class.
