Pediatric KNO Surgery in the Netherlands: A Parent's Guide to Tonsils & Grommets

There is a unique kind of vulnerability that comes with watching your child enter an operating room. In this deeply personal episode, Eva shares her family’s journey through her daughter’s adenoid, tonsil, and grommet surgery. We move beyond the clinical details to offer a warm, honest, and direct look at the emotional and practical side of pediatric procedures in the Netherlands.

From the "must-pack" hospital bag essentials (like comfortable pajamas and comfort kits) to the best Dutch books to help explain the hospital to your little one, this episode is packed with hard-won advice. We discuss Brené Brown’s lessons on courage, the power of recovery mantras, and the absolute necessity of ice pops. Whether you are currently preparing for a KNO appointment or are right in the thick of a "jelly and cuddles" recovery week, this conversation offers the reassurance and solidarity you need to feel less alone.
