Surgery 2

Ellie had her surgery yesterday. Everything went well. They put the right tube back in and the basically changed out the left tube. Dr. Gower said that it was 3/4 of the way out, so she went on and replaced it otherwise we might have been back in the same place within a couple of weeks. She also took Ellie's adenoids out. She said they were medium in size....not really sure what that means.

Ellie did great surgery wise. She definitely acted different afterwards (from last time). She was very fussy. All of this was because of the breathing tube that was put down her throat and the IV (you can see it on her left hand in the above picture). She came out of surgery about 10 am. They wouldn't let us leave until she had had several ounces of juice. Normally, Ellie is a very, very good drinker. It took her right at an hour before she would drink. Once we got home she slept a little, but not as much as I expected. She would be happy and then very fussy. It was back and forth all day. She is complaining that her throat hurts...which we knew it would. The problem is that she won't take her pain medicine. Hopefully, she will start taking it soon. Dr. Gower said that they recovery time for adenoids is 3-5 days. I am hoping that she will be back to herself tomorrow....or at least more like herself!!
