Lexie's Surgery Went Well

4/05/2010 11:00:00 PM Edit This 9 Comments »
Just a quick post to let everyone know that Lexie's surgery went well. The surgeon said that her tonsils were extremely large so I'm glad they are out along with her adenoids and there was fluid behind both ears so again glad the tubes are in. But recovery....not so much fun. She threw up the 3 red Popsicles they gave her in post op in the car on the way home and has refused her pain meds and anti-biotic. Clearly it's going to be a long night and an even longer week. But as a friend of mine said - sleep is over rated.

Thanks for everyone's prayers and good wishes!

Hi.. I've been following Lexie's journey for some time now. We have a little 5 yr old from the Republic of Georgia. Just wanted to pop in and wish Lexie and her Mommy well. Prayers and lots of warm wishes coming your way. ;o)

Oh poor Lexie. I hope she is able to get even a little bit of rest tonight and that she starts feeling better really soon.
Cheers,

P.S. I don't often leave you a comment, but I love checking in with you guys. You were SO helpful when we were packing for our trip to Kaz last summer. Your advice and encouragement were so precious to us!

Glad to hear everybody's healthy and can't wait to see videos of a *quietly* sleeping Lexie :)

Glad to hear it all went well and hopefully by now she is agreeing to take the meds more easily and that you are both sleeping more restfully. I'm surprised they gave her red popsicles, as they told me Ciera could not have ANYTHING red, as then they know that anything red is blood. I of course had to then run out an buy a different flavour of Advil!

I hope you both have a quiet restful week and that Lexie bounces back quickly.
