Help!!!
My 7 year old son has his tonsillectomy tomorrow, and I am so worried about the recovery and process. I don't know if I should keep his siblings home from school too, but then my husband goes to to work aswell so he can bring anything back. Am I just overthinking?

I had my tonsils out when I was 14. My parents and siblings went to school and work as normal. I developed a mild post op infection during the first week which made me sick for a day and have a high temperature for 2-3 days until the antibiotics kicked in. The second week I was back at normal activities just not at school.
