recovery

what a week! Torie did great in surgery and waking up. the dr got a great look at her ears and decided she needed tubes in as well. so she had tubes put in, tonsils and adnoids taken out.
it was taking her pain med that got her. she hated the taste of lortab, poor thing gagged every time she took it. finally, at 4 am tuesday she gagged enough to make herself sick. the nurse finally just started giving her tylenol. the poor girl had an iv in her foot! i felt horrible for her. she couldn't walk because they had her foot wrapped in a "no no"-it stops kids from messing with wires and tubes. torie did feel better after seeing her favorite aunt and cousins. they always make her all better! seeing her preschool teachers made her feel tons better as well. torie was very excited to return to school monday. we are still working on her eating better, but her throat is still so sore and she says her mouth hurts. this recovery week has been long.
her pharyngeal flap repair is now set for Dec 9. it will also be an overnight stay at vandy. i hope and pray that recovery will be much easier!! my big girl is still getting over this one.
