Good Times, Noodle Salad

After months, years really, of worrying about Emersyn's sleeping problems I finally took her to see an ENT dr. I told him about her snoring and showed him video I took of Emersyn while she was sleeping when she stopped breathing repeatedly for up to 15 seconds. He looked her over and recommended removing her tonsils and adenoids.

We took her in for the surgery on Thursday and she did really well. The dr told us that her tonsils were "huge" and that her adenoids were so large that instead of being side by side, like they are supposed to be, they overlapped. She cried for a few minutes as she was coming out of the anesthesia but after it wore off she told me she was hungry and ready to go home. She ate really well on Thursday, pretty much everything I gave her.

The dr said that the worst days are usually the 3rd and 4th after the surgery. Today is the 3rd day and it is by far the worst she has had, she doesn't even want to swallow her own saliva so I am struggling to keep her hydrated. Hopefully this is the low point and tomorrow is better.
