He’s really adorable and I hope he’ll recover soon. Just look on the bright side Barker. After you have the surgery you’ll be able to breathe better and sleep better. It’ll be good for you in the long run.
I had the same exact surgery last year and I didn’t eat solid food for 2 weeks TIPS- 1.) try not to eat a lot of dairy because it will make you have a lot of snot and you have to swallow it after surgery and if you swallow a lot of it you will throw up 2.) MAC AND CHEESE is amazing start like day 3-4 after surgery 3.) eat as much as you can the day of the surgery because that is the best it will feel because you still have the meds in you 4.)It gets worse before it gets better 5.) Drink a lot of water Hope Parker’s surgery goes well
Yeah I had it when I was little because I had so much snot in the first place. I think it’s due to a more apparent dairy allergy but yeah. I wanted nothing to do with ice cream. Also USE LISTERINE it feels so good on your surgery area
My daughter went through the same thing at Parker’s age! 1 - if he’s never had any pain medication before he may have an adverse reaction to them. My daughter got INCREDIBLY sick because of the pain meds, just prepare yourself that he may not be able to take his prescribed meds. We ended up just giving high doses of Advil. (Hopefully that’s not the case with Parker, it just made Audrey’s recovery a little tougher) 2 - not too much dairy! It can make them cough which is just killer on their little throats. Audrey did better with sherbet, popsicles, jello, soups, tea, etc. 3 - his breath is going to knock you down with its potency. Also, don’t panic when you look at his throat a couple days after surgery. It’s literally THE GROSSEST thing you’ll ever see. 😂😂 4 - Audrey’s recovery was a solid 10 days. Luckily you guys have lots of helping hands and extra love to give. It’s a tough surgery but he will be great! And seeing your child on the loopy juice before surgery is one of the upsides as a parent 😜. OH!!! And Audrey’s voice definitely changed. She went from sounding like an old woman who smoked a few packs a day, to a little girl with a little girl voice.
leighmidd AGREED!! I had my tonsils out at 18, my son had his tonsils and adenoids out at 3.... go with sherbets instead of ice cream!!! (The cough is killer!!) Prayers Parker has a fast & easy recovery!
Agree! I had mine out (as an adult) and dairy was no bueno. Sorbet and popsicles were perfect! And yes, he will have dragon breath about 3-4 days after. Also he will have a little bump in pain around the same time as the scabs heal; keep encouraging fluids and it’ll get better again after a day or so. You got this Parker!
This was greatttt advice! Dairy is NOT the way to go! Super correct on that. I recommend to buy them some new fun comfy jammies ( to make the happy and feel just.. happy! ) and just snuggle up on the couch with them! The siblings can have lots of fun watching the movies with Parker, and it will seem bad, but just look for the positive side!!
As a pediatric nurse the best advice I could give is to Give Parker his pain meds or Tylenol as prescribed DO NOT WAIT UNTIL HE IS IN SEVERE PAIN BECAUSE IT WONT WORK. And no straws if he gulps liquids to fast it will hurt sips from a spoon is best. Popsicles are great but freeze pops work better nothing red
Oh wow! I'm so glad that they are going ahead with removing them. It took us a few years, but the doctors eventually agreed that it was necessary for me as well. I got my tonsils and adenoids removed when I was 9. It significantly improved my life lol no more rediculous amounts of tonsillitis. For suggestions from my experience: Home made popsicles were the best because you can add pineapple juice (natural anti-inflamitory) and reduce the fake sugar amounts.
i love how positive parker is about his surgery. i also love that you guys are making sure not to scare him even if youre a little weary. i hope i have a family like yours one day :)
I love how Parker is going through so much like it’s hard for him to sleep and breathe and stuff but in the vlog he is ignoring it to make us happy and make our days and have fun. Well wishes Parker if you see this hope the surgery is soon and a speedy recovery and well wishes to the family too ❤️🙏.
I just had my tonsils and adenoids out last month and the absolute WORST part was playing the waiting game for two weeks, so just try your best to keep him busy with things that he can do sitting and without talking (for the most part) things like movies, coloring, Pictionary, small puzzles etc. and besides popsicles I suggest soup and soft muffins and nothing too sticky. He'll probably not want to drink water because it hurts, so I suggest to try to get him to drink as much water as possible right after he takes his meds because that should hurt less. He'll also probably sleep a lot which is really good for passing time. Hope this helps!
My son had the exact same thing done at about Parker’s age. (He was slightly older at 8..He had troubles breathing, eating & also with his tonsils holding constant bacteria causing him to get sick ALL the time with strep & other illnesses.) Although it was scary as a mom, it made a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE for my little man. The surgery was honestly quite easy for my son (I was a mess obviously! Haha) & He was FULLY recovered eating normally after about 7-10 days if I recall. (He’s 17 now. So it’s been a while) Lots of Frosty’s From Wendy’s. Sonic Slushies & LOADS OF POPCICLES! His voice actually had a similar nasally sound to Parker’s & after the procedure my son Jacobs singing voice actually got remarkably better. He also breathes better at nighttime...Although we’d hoped it would help him FINALLY sleep through the night..But it didn’t...Still at 17 he’s up at least once a night! He’s gotten strep throat far less. Sending Parker lots of prayers for strength, protection & courage before his surgery. Also praying for his mama & dad as it’s never easy to watch your kiddos be put to sleep & have a surgery...Let alone watch them in pain. God’s blessings to you all. Merry Christmastime!
Tess McClaine I actually have the same thing but my breathing is way better, I didn’t get them removed but I almost did bc I always get this thing called (I’m french, so I don’t know what this type of cold is called) omidalite, omidales are tonsils, it’s a sickness caused by large tonsils, I usually can’t talk when I have this bc it hurts to much
Parker is so strong and I absolutely adore it. He preservers through all of these tough times in his life. (He does have an amazing family to get him through it). I hope everything goes well. I will be praying. Love you guys 💕💖💕💖
I have my tonsils and adenoids out! I remember being in a lot of pain afterwards, but I heard the younger you are the less it hurts.. I also noticed the pain medication didn’t really help and made me feel sick, so I just took Advil... I also had tons of popsicles and smoothies and ice cream (Parker is going to love it lol) and since they cauterize the throat, you’re left with a bunch of white stuff at the back of your throat so it looks kind of weird but it goes away.. and my recovery didn’t take too long! Wishing Parker luck and I know it’s going to help him so much 💗
Yes, I had mine out when I was about 6 and it wasn’t too bad it still obviously hurt but didn’t take too long to recover. I heard that it was HORRIBLE for a lot of people but for Parker’s age it should be ok
i had my tonsils and adenoids out when i was seven! something that helped me a lot was since it hurt to talk, someone gave me a little homemade paper book to hang around my neck that had all these little phrases like “could i have some ice cream” or “could you put on a movie for me” good luck with your surgery parker! i hope you have a quick and easy recovery!
Keep him VERY calm after the surgery... My brother started panicking and screaming when he was little and burst his stitches and started throwing up blood, they had to take him back to the operating room. so just keep him calm and occupied!
@@chibidoggosowoblm2543 He is perfectly fine, he was pretty little, I think younger than Parker is now (idk if I was even born yet) but he's now 20 and has never had any problems, though he does still snore
Gang, nothing will prepare you for the breath stench. The doctor told us to expect my daughter to have "bad breath," she did not tell us that her mouth would smell like a freaking diaper fire for two weeks. It was unbearable. It made our eyes water. Brace yourselves. It's bonkers.
There was a girl at the daycare I work at who had her tonsils taken out and a sweet little boy came up to me and said “I think Ashley popped her pants.” And I had to tell him it was just her breath 😭😭 he was so nice about it too.
I got my tonsils and adenoids out in March and gum helped me with the ear pain and a lot of cold water helped me to keep my scars moisturized 😁💜 Good luck Parker YOU GOT THIS💪💜💜💜
I had my tonsils and adnoids out when I was 36 years old and before that i always got colds, strep throat, flu's and now since having them out, Ive not been sick once and now im 45 so 9 years without a cold? Goodbye tonsils! Also, fun fact: Reese Witherspoons father was my surgeon! He was an ENT surgeon here in Nashville, he has since retired but he was so nice and when I came out from ansthesia and was loopy and he came in to see how I was doing, all I did was ask him if Reese was going to come and see me while I was there? He would laugh and he said "ill see if I can reach her on the phone" lol he was so nice.
Had my tonsils out as an adult. Popsicle and ice cream actually hurt me more, but lukewarm stuff felt great. Each person is different, and I know Parker will let y’all know what feels best to him. Lots of love, cuddles, and chill activities and he’ll be good to go. Your family is a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
I had my tonsils out 7 years ago (I was 9) it was causing me a lot of pain after getting them removed so I didn’t eat or drink at all the day after. I ended up in the hospital for two days severely dehydrated. If there is one piece of advise I have for after Parker’s surgery it is to keep making him drink lots of water!! (OMG THANK YOU FOR THE ❤️)
Parker’s the cutest little boy ever 💓 he’s so brave and he’s gonna be an amazing adult/father one day because he has amazing role models 😊 I love you guys
Love how Parker seems so calm & chill through this ordeal. With his positive attitude i am positive he will do just fine with the surgery & the recovery process ❤
Freeze Gatorade into popsicles, you get the nice cold and the hydration. Hydration will help healing! And like I’ve seen mentioned before try to avoid dairy if possible cause it can thicken secretions and make him cough.
I’ve had both my tonsils and adenoids out and the best thing ever for the pain is ice packs under the chin. It might be pain full at first but it helps so much. I love vlogmas so much
one thing i've heard from many people who have had their tonsils out but not their adenoids as a kid still have trouble as adults so i'd recommend getting both out. good luck to parker and to the best parents for being so great about the situation! :)
I’ve had both tonsils and adenoids out! tonsils at 5 years old and adenoids at 18. Having your adenoids out leaves barely any discomfort, just sore throat and stuffy nose for a couple of days however tonsils were sore so plenty of ice cream and cold things. You will feel so much better for it Parker and I hope you have a speedy recovery! 💙
I got my tonsils and adenoids out when I was 5 same age as Parker. The worst part for my parents was I was infected so my tonsils would randomly swell to the point I wouldn't be able to breathe. My mom watched me like a hawk. But we made it though surgery fine. I was stubborn when it came to eating I loved getting all the popsicles, ice cream, shakes, smoothies, mashed potatoes etc. But after just a few days I was starting not liking not being able to chew and it took my mom a very long time to convince me that I would get to eat meat and chewable food again just had to do a few more sleeps. Side not my mom made me the biggest thing of mashed potatoes and would heat them up whenever I wanted them and she was very confused when I was upset I had to eat them again because I love love mashed potatoes. My favorite part of the surgery and every surgery I've ever had to go though was getting a new stuffed friend and getting to go to my favorite ice cream place for a milkshake. My advice even though Parker seems so excited about it wake up can be scary and he might cry when he first wakes up right out of surgery it's normal but that's when I got my new friend then I would fall back asleep and wake up totally find a bit in pain but better. So my advice definitely give him something to look forward to when he wakes up and when you leave the hospital. Definitely helps with the pain and the strange thing they just went though.
Lauren Alley I got 2 big Antibiotic shots today for a sinus inf. & ear inf. Cause I cant take any antibiotics by mouth allergic to them. Im older & it hurt.
I got my tonsils removed when I was 7 because every time I got sick they would swell up and they wouldn’t go back down, and they got to be the size of golf balls, so I was breathing through a hole the size of a straw. One thing that helped some for me after I got them removed was chewing gum, not only for bad breath, but it helped with the soreness some. Chewing gum also helped my mouth not be so dry, a big plus to the gum is that it helped for a longer time compared to a popsicle which would only last about 10 or so minutes. I feel that Parker’s voice will change mine changed very little and I didn’t notice but other people did. I wish him the best of luck though and I’m sure it will go great.
Good luck Parker!! I hope that things go well! I had the same problem and I got mine taken out earlier in September. I am fifteen and it did a world of good. You're so brave and strong and a real trouper.
First!! Love yall! hope you feel better Parker! ❤️❤️; also I had my tonsils removed when I was about 7 or 8 and honestly it's nothing to stress about it didn't hurt after and a rlly good thing is getting him a little gift for when the surgery is over my mom did that for me and all I remember is it made me soooo happy oh yeah (gymnastics surgeon)
Quirk Shop Studios ?? Well not to start a fight but I got the Notification that they uploaded right after their livestream and I got there first and there was no comments and I put one first so but it doesn’t matter we shouldn’t have too worry about small things we should worry about Parker and give him positive energy for his surgery
I had my tonsils removed at a young age. Mine were always enlarged and almost touching, they were removed due to the fact I got strep throat 6 times in the span of a year... yikes. I don't remember being in much pain after the surgery, my mom made sure to give me my pain meds right away on routine. I mostly remember being tired and resting a lot right afterwards. Mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese were my go-to and saving grace! Anything that was soft and easily swallowed. I do remember my gag reflex being triggered at random times for no reason, I don't know if that was from the surgery or not but it didn't last long. My recovery was quick and I was up and out playing outside in no time. You'll do amazing, Parker! It'll feel really nice to be able to swallow with ease and not choke. Sending you guys some love and positivity for a smooth surgery and recovery!
I love your videos, and this is coming from a place of love and concern. Was that your rabbit in the garage? That seemed like a small cage and not enough for the rabbit to fully stretch out or hop to exercise. I hope that the rabbit is okay - also I'm sure the noise of the drums is really scary for him. Again, not trying to criticize at all but just wanted to ask.
I believe they let the rabbit out of the cage quite often but yea, when I saw those drums next to it I cringed. Maybe after some time it got used to the noise but I doubt it wouldn't run away if it had a choice..
ThatGirlAgain yeah I agree. Something about that part of the video just felt off and I really hope the rabbit feels safe and has the space, attention, and exercise he/she needs. Obviously it’s hard when you have four kids but I’m sure they could find someone to help give it a new home if they needed to!
I've always had very large tonsils. I got mine out when I was 16 and it was the worst recovery. It is very good that he's getting it done now. Praying for Parker!!
Both my kids had they're tonsils and adenoids taken out for the same reasons as Parker trust me it's best to do it while he's young.. I had mine done when I was 14 n it was horrible. Get his medication flavored cuz it's very nasty.. chicken noodle soup. Put a humidifier or cool mist vaporizer in his room. Gargle warm salt water.
I had my tonsils out when I was four. Parker shouldn't have any rough food just smoothie and soft food so it doesn't hurt his throat and also cold food
I don't know anything about that type of surgery but I can tell you that I've been told waiting for any surgery is the hardest part. I will be praying for all of you as Parker goes through this.
Parker will do just fine! I know it’s so so scary anytime kiddos go under, but he will be just fine. He will feel so so much better after. I had my tonsils out as an adult and I wish I would have done it when I was younger. It made SUUUUUUUCH a difference. Thinking of you all. Momma love to you. You will do fine too. ❤️
i used to be the exact same as Parker when i was a kid this used to happen to me all the time & it's currently going on right now, so i get his pain but hes really not letting it show as much as i am because i'm a crybaby, what a brave lil dude
I had my tonsils and adenoids removed when I was about Parker’s age and it definitely hurt but popsicles and ice cream helped a lot! Lots of ice water and juice help too! The recovery time wasn’t very long and I was eating solid foods in no time! Sending good thoughts and prayers for Parker!!
I had my tonsils and adenoids removed about 19 years ago make sure Parker definitely eats after surgery also when cold and flu season hits I always get super bad throat infections so be prepared for that. Good luck Parker you'll be absolutely fine ❤️
I got mine out when I was 6 and boy am I glad I did I can breathe so much better now when I use to sleep when I was younger I would stop breathing and snore I had constant sore throats and ear infections and now I rarely ever get a sore throat or ear infection but I pray for a speedy recovery for him 💕
Good job being strong and brave for the doctor, Parker! Praying for peace for you all, and that his surgery goes smoothly, with a quick and easy recovery!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I had my tonsils and adenoids removed. Definitely lots of rest, jello, popsicles and smoothies or ice cream! Great job on the piano and drums, Jake! Thanks for sharing another video with us! God bless and prayers and hugs to you all!☺️❤️
he will be gutted when he finds out new advice is to eat scratchy foods to aid recovery..... it brings the blood to the surface and speeds up the healing. thats the advice i was given when i hav mine removed and my daughter is having hers removed too soon. both because of large tonsils and stones. hope al goes well. make sure he doesnt share any cups, forks etc when recovering as infections are easy to get and nasty.
Not necessarily. Depends on the doctor I was informed not to eat scratchy or hard food when I had mine out. They didn’t want me opening my stitches. Plus I didn’t want to eat anything because my throat hurt so much
I had my tonsils out when I was 10 and it did hurt to swallow on the first few days of course BUT it gets easier quite quickly! Ice cream and jello is a need 😂 and just try not to talk TOO much 😂
Wolf Viiper Parker? Talking? Never been seen before! Lol *insert sarcasm when wanted. I love Parker and his talkitive self! But he should probably try sleeping to prevent talking because it will hurt
When I was in Kindergarten one of my friends had her tonsils removed and we were all SO jealous of her because she got to eat a bunch of ice cream and popsicles. You’ll do great, Parker! ❤️
My little brother Gideon( who acts exactly like Parker) had his tonsils, adenoids taken out and had a coterisation. For some reason he loved it and wants to do it again. But his breath stank soooooo bad. We thought it would change his voice too because he always sounded like he was talking through his nose. But it didn’t. Anyways, good luck Parker!😘
I had my tonsils and adenoids out when I was around Parker’s age because I kept getting strep. I don’t remember a ton, but I do know that the younger you are when you have the surgery, the quicker the recovery. I also know that ice cream and popsicles are excellent for recovery! Good luck, Ballingers! 💜💜💜💜💜💜

Parker has seemed SO grown up these last few vlogs... such a sweet kid - you guys are the best parents!
He really has. Sometimes I mistake him for Jacob at first glance
He’s really adorable and I hope he’ll recover soon. Just look on the bright side Barker. After you have the surgery you’ll be able to breathe better and sleep better. It’ll be good for you in the long run.
I agree
I had the same exact surgery last year and I didn’t eat solid food for 2 weeks TIPS-
1.) try not to eat a lot of dairy because it will make you have a lot of snot and you have to swallow it after surgery and if you swallow a lot of it you will throw up
2.) MAC AND CHEESE is amazing start like day 3-4 after surgery
3.) eat as much as you can the day of the surgery because that is the best it will feel because you still have the meds in you
4.)It gets worse before it gets better
5.) Drink a lot of water
Hope Parker’s surgery goes well
Thank you for this. I have HFMD in my throat and my throat hurts and I need stuff like this.
Sarah Rosie np that’s why I wrote it so other ppl don’t have to go through what I did also that sucks also sub to me pls
"try not to eat lot of dairy...but mac and CHEESE is good"? doesn't make sense...cheese = dairy?
Great tips! I too had mine removed about 5 years ago.
Yeah I had it when I was little because I had so much snot in the first place. I think it’s due to a more apparent dairy allergy but yeah. I wanted nothing to do with ice cream. Also USE LISTERINE it feels so good on your surgery area

Because it could be confused with blood Incase of vomiting
Doreen Pike got it 🙃 I was thinking the same thing!!
It’s nice that u gave them some tip

haha oh yea, that too! good times. lol
Yes 😖 so freaking bad. My little mans was almost sweet smelling but in the nastiest way ever. It was so gross
Parker is the only human I know who gets happy at the mention of his tonsils getting taken out 😂❤️
I got happy
I get happy for every surgery I have
i was excited when i learned i had to get mine out
When I had my wisdom teeth out, I froze juice in ice cube molds to give me something cold, comfortable, and flavorful to snack on!
yay surgery! 😆No pitty party from me Parker!
❤️
itsJudysLife why do you say that?
I love how when you watch Parker dance you can tell he doesn’t just hear the music but he hears the rhythm and the beat also. ❤️ Brava x
Gymnastics surgeon!!!! Btw I hope you have a quick recovery, Parker!!!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜

Goodbye tonsils! Also, fun fact: Reese Witherspoons father was my surgeon! He was an ENT surgeon here in Nashville, he has since retired but he was so nice and when I came out from ansthesia and was loopy and he came in to see how I was doing, all I did was ask him if Reese was going to come and see me while I was there? He would laugh and he said "ill see if I can reach her on the phone" lol he was so nice.
Pink Poodle Crafts I didn’t get my tonsils removed and when I get sick, it’s the worst, also when I get food stuck in them, it’s not very fun 😂
My advice for this warrior is that Parker you will rock this and remember to pray and I will pray for a speedy recovery!❤
You guys are so loving to each other, and to people you may not even know. God bless you guys. Stay strong
Had my tonsils out as an adult. Popsicle and ice cream actually hurt me more, but lukewarm stuff felt great. Each person is different, and I know Parker will let y’all know what feels best to him. Lots of love, cuddles, and chill activities and he’ll be good to go. Your family is a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
Parker is so strong and adorable❤❤ Love him!!
Parker is so adorable, he's so sweet and innocent and like completely melts my heart
I had my tonsils out 7 years ago (I was 9) it was causing me a lot of pain after getting them removed so I didn’t eat or drink at all the day after. I ended up in the hospital for two days severely dehydrated. If there is one piece of advise I have for after Parker’s surgery it is to keep making him drink lots of water!! (OMG THANK YOU FOR THE ❤️)
Yes! No matter how much it hurts, at the very least he needs to drink water
jacob’s song was awesome!
Parker’s the cutest little boy ever 💓 he’s so brave and he’s gonna be an amazing adult/father one day because he has amazing role models 😊 I love you guys
Parker is SO brave!! Sending all the love and good vibes for a smooth surgery and fast recovery with LOTS of ice cream and all the good stuff!!
Gymnast Surgeon! Dr Parker is so brave 😃
Love how Parker seems so calm & chill through this ordeal. With his positive attitude i am positive he will do just fine with the surgery & the recovery process ❤
Freeze Gatorade into popsicles, you get the nice cold and the hydration. Hydration will help healing! And like I’ve seen mentioned before try to avoid dairy if possible cause it can thicken secretions and make him cough.
I wish Parker the best of luck, and I’m glad he is able to make the best out of a bad situation. He’s an icon! ❤️
Me and my identical twin sister had ours out at 22 months so we don't remember but wanted to wish Parker the best in recovery
i haven’t had my tonsils taken out but i did have my adenoids taken out and i had sinus surgery. it is a very fast recovery and i know he’ll do great
OMG Parker is so extremely cute at 3:15 !! I'm melting.
I’ve had both my tonsils and adenoids out and the best thing ever for the pain is ice packs under the chin. It might be pain full at first but it helps so much. I love vlogmas so much
Peroxide is great for removing blood stains!
Kristyn Michael works like a charm!!
one thing i've heard from many people who have had their tonsils out but not their adenoids as a kid still have trouble as adults so i'd recommend getting both out. good luck to parker and to the best parents for being so great about the situation! :)
Parker: "It almost dropped in the eggs but it didn't"
Chris: *questionable look
Parker: *big smile "I know"
HAHA I love you guys!!!
Yes, dad's look was suspicious and questioning 🤔
I’ve had both tonsils and adenoids out! tonsils at 5 years old and adenoids at 18. Having your adenoids out leaves barely any discomfort, just sore throat and stuffy nose for a couple of days however tonsils were sore so plenty of ice cream and cold things. You will feel so much better for it Parker and I hope you have a speedy recovery! 💙
I got my tonsils and adenoids out when I was 5 same age as Parker. The worst part for my parents was I was infected so my tonsils would randomly swell to the point I wouldn't be able to breathe. My mom watched me like a hawk. But we made it though surgery fine. I was stubborn when it came to eating I loved getting all the popsicles, ice cream, shakes, smoothies, mashed potatoes etc. But after just a few days I was starting not liking not being able to chew and it took my mom a very long time to convince me that I would get to eat meat and chewable food again just had to do a few more sleeps. Side not my mom made me the biggest thing of mashed potatoes and would heat them up whenever I wanted them and she was very confused when I was upset I had to eat them again because I love love mashed potatoes. My favorite part of the surgery and every surgery I've ever had to go though was getting a new stuffed friend and getting to go to my favorite ice cream place for a milkshake. My advice even though Parker seems so excited about it wake up can be scary and he might cry when he first wakes up right out of surgery it's normal but that's when I got my new friend then I would fall back asleep and wake up totally find a bit in pain but better. So my advice definitely give him something to look forward to when he wakes up and when you leave the hospital. Definitely helps with the pain and the strange thing they just went though.
so proud of how brave Parker is!!! Such a strong lil guy!!!
Parker can you teach me to be as brave as you at the doctors! I'm 21 and I still tear up when I have to get a shot lol I HATE THEM!
Lauren Alley hey same and I turn 20 in 3 months lol
Me to many I mean many doctors had to hold me down to get a biopsy in a kicker
Lauren Alley I got 2 big Antibiotic shots today for a sinus inf. & ear inf. Cause I cant take any antibiotics by mouth allergic to them. Im older & it hurt.
At my 11 year checkup I got 4 shots it hurt like crazy
Parker's dancing is EVERYTHING! Made my day brighter. X
I got my tonsils removed when I was 7 because every time I got sick they would swell up and they wouldn’t go back down, and they got to be the size of golf balls, so I was breathing through a hole the size of a straw. One thing that helped some for me after I got them removed was chewing gum, not only for bad breath, but it helped with the soreness some. Chewing gum also helped my mouth not be so dry, a big plus to the gum is that it helped for a longer time compared to a popsicle which would only last about 10 or so minutes. I feel that Parker’s voice will change mine changed very little and I didn’t notice but other people did. I wish him the best of luck though and I’m sure it will go great.
Good luck Parker!! I hope that things go well! I had the same problem and I got mine taken out earlier in September. I am fifteen and it did a world of good. You're so brave and strong and a real trouper.
First!! Love yall! hope you feel better Parker! ❤️❤️; also I had my tonsils removed when I was about 7 or 8 and honestly it's nothing to stress about it didn't hurt after and a rlly good thing is getting him a little gift for when the surgery is over my mom did that for me and all I remember is it made me soooo happy oh yeah (gymnastics surgeon)
Karli Swanzy Sorry Too burst you’re Bubble But I was fair even thoe it doesn’t matter
Oh well my phones slow ig cuz it said I was 🤷♀️ sorry
...Youre not first...? You're far from first.
Karli Swanzy no need to apologize it doesn’t matter who’s first
Quirk Shop Studios ?? Well not to start a fight but I got the Notification that they uploaded right after their livestream and I got there first and there was no comments and I put one first so but it doesn’t matter we shouldn’t have too worry about small things we should worry about Parker and give him positive energy for his surgery
I had my tonsils removed at a young age. Mine were always enlarged and almost touching, they were removed due to the fact I got strep throat 6 times in the span of a year... yikes. I don't remember being in much pain after the surgery, my mom made sure to give me my pain meds right away on routine. I mostly remember being tired and resting a lot right afterwards. Mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese were my go-to and saving grace! Anything that was soft and easily swallowed. I do remember my gag reflex being triggered at random times for no reason, I don't know if that was from the surgery or not but it didn't last long. My recovery was quick and I was up and out playing outside in no time. You'll do amazing, Parker! It'll feel really nice to be able to swallow with ease and not choke. Sending you guys some love and positivity for a smooth surgery and recovery!
I love your videos, and this is coming from a place of love and concern. Was that your rabbit in the garage? That seemed like a small cage and not enough for the rabbit to fully stretch out or hop to exercise. I hope that the rabbit is okay - also I'm sure the noise of the drums is really scary for him. Again, not trying to criticize at all but just wanted to ask.
I believe they let the rabbit out of the cage quite often but yea, when I saw those drums next to it I cringed. Maybe after some time it got used to the noise but I doubt it wouldn't run away if it had a choice..
ThatGirlAgain yeah I agree. Something about that part of the video just felt off and I really hope the rabbit feels safe and has the space, attention, and exercise he/she needs. Obviously it’s hard when you have four kids but I’m sure they could find someone to help give it a new home if they needed to!
I believe they don't keep him in the house due to Parker's allergy
I've always had very large tonsils. I got mine out when I was 16 and it was the worst recovery. It is very good that he's getting it done now. Praying for Parker!!
Also, get a tongue scraper for thrush and Pedialyte!!
“Oh that was almost a bad thing”
“What happened?”
“It almost touched the eggs but it didn’t”
“😟” 😂😂😂😂😂
11:05 That parent face! Holy moly, that brings me back to the days. Hopefully all goes well with Parker!
Both my kids had they're tonsils and adenoids taken out for the same reasons as Parker trust me it's best to do it while he's young.. I had mine done when I was 14 n it was horrible. Get his medication flavored cuz it's very nasty.. chicken noodle soup. Put a humidifier or cool mist vaporizer in his room. Gargle warm salt water.
Loving Parker’s amazing, positive attitude! You are awesome Parker!!
I love how calm Parker is about his surgery, like Jessica is talking about what the doctor said and Parker is blowing up a latex glove😂
Love the snowman holding up the wall while Parker dances ❤️ Love to you all. Your Vlogmas is brilliant as always.
I had my tonsils out when I was four. Parker shouldn't have any rough food just smoothie and soft food so it doesn't hurt his throat and also cold food
I don't know anything about that type of surgery but I can tell you that I've been told waiting for any surgery is the hardest part. I will be praying for all of you as Parker goes through this.
Good luck Parker! Much love Emma❤️
Emma Mildenhall Emma?
@@garcie8498 She's saying love Emma.
Nicole Flynn oh lol thx for telling me
Parker will do just fine! I know it’s so so scary anytime kiddos go under, but he will be just fine. He will feel so so much better after. I had my tonsils out as an adult and I wish I would have done it when I was younger. It made SUUUUUUUCH a difference. Thinking of you all. Momma love to you. You will do fine too. ❤️
Dr. Parker Gymnastics Surgeon
i used to be the exact same as Parker when i was a kid this used to happen to me all the time & it's currently going on right now, so i get his pain
but hes really not letting it show as much as i am because i'm a crybaby, what a brave lil dude
Gymnastics surgeon! Parker stay strong! I love you and your whole family! Can I please have a shoutout? Parker is so brave!!🙂😊
Parker is such an amazing little kid and just a bundle of joy😭❤️ great things are coming his way he’s so talented😍❤️
gymnastics surgeon! love you sm
I had my tonsils and adenoids removed when I was about Parker’s age and it definitely hurt but popsicles and ice cream helped a lot! Lots of ice water and juice help too! The recovery time wasn’t very long and I was eating solid foods in no time! Sending good thoughts and prayers for Parker!!
(At 11:05) that is the death stare of doom
Poor Parker. 🙏I have him in my prayers!! He is such a sweet little boy.😚😇
i’m here so early for once!! before 100 views!!
I had my tonsils and adenoids removed about 19 years ago make sure Parker definitely eats after surgery also when cold and flu season hits I always get super bad throat infections so be prepared for that. Good luck Parker you'll be absolutely fine ❤️
DR PARKER THE FUTURE SURGEON AND CAN I BE THE SHOUTOUT
Good luck on your surgery Parker!! You are so strong and kind
Gymnastics Surgeon!!!!!! 😊❤️
I got mine out when I was 6 and boy am I glad I did I can breathe so much better now when I use to sleep when I was younger I would stop breathing and snore I had constant sore throats and ear infections and now I rarely ever get a sore throat or ear infection but I pray for a speedy recovery for him 💕
Parker:LOVES SHOTS
Me: wants to run out of a doctor office when i get a shot
I had the exact same thing happen when I was Parker’s age-the surgery fixed all of my issues so I’m hoping it does the same for him!
Gymnastics surgeon😍😍😍i Love youuuuuu so muchh😍😍😍🥰😘
Good job being strong and brave for the doctor, Parker! Praying for peace for you all, and that his surgery goes smoothly, with a quick and easy recovery!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I had my tonsils and adenoids removed. Definitely lots of rest, jello, popsicles and smoothies or ice cream!
Great job on the piano and drums, Jake!
Thanks for sharing another video with us! God bless and prayers and hugs to you all!☺️❤️
he will be gutted when he finds out new advice is to eat scratchy foods to aid recovery..... it brings the blood to the surface and speeds up the healing. thats the advice i was given when i hav mine removed and my daughter is having hers removed too soon. both because of large tonsils and stones. hope al goes well. make sure he doesnt share any cups, forks etc when recovering as infections are easy to get and nasty.
Not necessarily. Depends on the doctor I was informed not to eat scratchy or hard food when I had mine out. They didn’t want me opening my stitches. Plus I didn’t want to eat anything because my throat hurt so much
@@Snvlogss yeah solids were definitely not going to happen for me. I could barely drink fluids.
I was super impressed by Jacob's song- those were some great harmonies! And of course the hilarious dancing (and camera dropping) by Parker!
I'm supposed to get my wisdom teeth out on December 20th... hopefully I'll still have a good Christmas 😆
I hope Parker’s surgery goes well! I had the same surgery earlier this year. My voice changed for a couple weeks but it’s back to normal now.
I had my tonsils out when I was 10 and it did hurt to swallow on the first few days of course BUT it gets easier quite quickly! Ice cream and jello is a need 😂 and just try not to talk TOO much 😂
Wolf Viiper Parker? Talking? Never been seen before! Lol *insert sarcasm when wanted. I love Parker and his talkitive self! But he should probably try sleeping to prevent talking because it will hurt
Yep! He might talk his stitches righy out if they aren't careful :p
@@emilypope8662 yeah I agree 😁
Awww! Hearing Duncan say “wa wa” for water brought back so many memories. I said wa wa when I was little too. It was so sweet to hear him say it! 💗
I had a bunch of nose bleeds. I have a weak blood vessel because I fell and accidentally hurt my nose and weakend one of my nose vessels
Parker is so positive and brave about this surgery, I had a surgery once and I was so panicked and scared
Great Job Parker!! Keep staying positive👍
I had my tonsil took out and Parker you can eat as much jello as you want
When I was in Kindergarten one of my friends had her tonsils removed and we were all SO jealous of her because she got to eat a bunch of ice cream and popsicles. You’ll do great, Parker! ❤️
My little brother Gideon( who acts exactly like Parker) had his tonsils, adenoids taken out and had a coterisation. For some reason he loved it and wants to do it again. But his breath stank soooooo bad. We thought it would change his voice too because he always sounded like he was talking through his nose. But it didn’t. Anyways, good luck Parker!😘
Praying for smooth recovery Parker!
Hi
Parker's smile is a little ray of sunshine on a cloudy day
parker dancing is my last brain cell
I had my tonsils and adenoids out when I was around Parker’s age because I kept getting strep. I don’t remember a ton, but I do know that the younger you are when you have the surgery, the quicker the recovery. I also know that ice cream and popsicles are excellent for recovery! Good luck, Ballingers! 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Gymnastics surgeon
Aw Parker! I'll be praying for recovery and that surgery goes well! I love how positive and happy he is, eat a bunch of popsicles buddy!
