Well surgery is over and she is doing great. She had her adnoids taken out and tubes put in her ears. She was put to sleep and surgery was about 20-30 minutes then about 1 1/2 hours in recovery. She had some minor problems with vomiting but we got Fenegrin and it helped her very quickly. She slept the rest of the4 day friday then was up running for the rest of the weekend. She was a little sleepier than normal but most of the tim ebounced off the walls. She stopped taking pain medicine saturday.
SHe is now one week out and feeling very good. Ocassionally she still has a sore throat, itchyness/coughing, or mild ear discomfort but it is rare. She also might get headaches and neck pain but she hasnt asked for tylenol so i dont think it has bothered her much. If anything she seems back to normal. She isnt very happy about having to stay out of gym for another week but it should keep her from doing anything that could hurt herself. She goes back in two weeks for a checkup and to get some ear plugs or at least discuss getting some. They make molded ones($70)...uggg...straight out of our pocket. I figure we might wait to get those until closer to swimming time. The grows so fast i dont want to get some now then need another pair by summer.
I will keep you updated on how she is doing but they say this should prevent ear infections a nd even possibly colds. It would be great to have her even healthier because of this. But overall i am just hoping for her to not be in pain anymore. I hate to see her wake up in the midlle of the night screaming in agony. It is misserable to know that there is nothing i can do to help her. Just pray that the tubes do their job and keep her healthy!
