Olympic Gymnast's Son Recovers After Rough Surgery

Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson recently shared an update on her two-year-old son, Barrett, who underwent surgery for his adenoids and a second set of ear tubes. The procedure, performed on Thursday, July 30, was described by Johnson as "definitely needed" and went smoothly.

However, Barrett's emergence from anesthesia proved to be a difficult experience for the family. Johnson detailed that this was the roughest recovery from anesthesia they had witnessed, noting her son's significant struggle. Despite the rough start, Barrett began to improve once they returned home.

Upon arriving home, Barrett, who had initially refused fluids, rapidly developed an extreme hunger. Johnson noted he was demanding a wide variety of foods, humorously referring to him as a "bottomless pit." This resurgence in appetite signaled a positive turn in his recovery.
