Hi,
Our son Noah just had his Adnoids removed and his Tonsils "reduced" in November. He also had a hernia reapair, circumcision, and something similar to a hyspadius reapair. He was 23 months at the time, and home for almost a year.
Not trying to scare you, but the toughest part was the tonsils, adnoids. However, by the time we left the hospital, he was acting almost like himself again already. He had to stay overnight, and almost stayed another night because he wasn't eating at first. But we got to go home, and we actually had an "ok" experience overall. My husband stayed overnight with him at the hospital, and it really helped them bonding-wise. He had been more attached to me, and after the hospital stay it has been more even.
One other nice side effect, Noah is SO much happier now. I really think he was uncomfortable because his tonsils were so HUGE. He was snoring, and tossing and turning, and he had some food issues. Now the snoring and restlessness are gone, and he is SO, SO much better with food. His whole disposition is better in my opinion.
It was tuff to see him so weak the first day, but the second day we were able to take him to the play area on our floor so he could play with his sister.
So, try not worry too much. You have to do it, so just try to make it as easy on him as possible. Plus there are many, many people who will be praying and thinking of him.
Take care, and good luck to you.
