Abbey had huge Tonsils. As you can see in this picture, they just about touch in the middle. Not only that, but I guess she had huge adenoids. The doctors think, that is why she gets sick so often, because of large Tonsils and adenoids. Plus she had sleep apnea. So it was best to take them out.
Monday morning we got right out of bed and went to the hospital for surgery. This is Abbey waiting in the play area.
Robby and Abbey. Abbey woke up in such a good happy mood. Not knowing what was to come. (poor girl)
Mom and Abbey
After they gave her a quick exam, the doctor pulls her in the wagon to the operating room. This was the sad part. Abbey was trying to be so brave as we had to say good bye to her at this point as she goes with the doctor alone the rest of the way. She tried so hard not to cry, but she had tears in her eyes and her pudgy lip was all out.
Abbey zonked out in the car ride home.
The holes where the Tonsils were. They look so grose!
The doctor said this was going to be a long hard healing process and that it was really painful. Boy was he right! This has been the longest 11 days ever! Abbey wouldn't drink anything. She wouldn't even take Popsicles. Nothing. We had to force her to take her medicine, and to drink. It was a fight, sometimes we had to hold her down and force her. It was awful! She wasn't her happy self. She threw so many tantrums and kept yelling "I am so angry!" I felt so bad for her. Sometimes she was so uncontrollable! She wouldn't take naps and hardly slept at night. She was up most the night in complete pain. Then hear ears started hurting her. She was in so much pain with her ears. They still hurt. So for the first 9 days, all I did all day was hold her and try to get her to drink and take her meds. It hasn't been fun. She still doesn't' feel good, but I can tell it has gotten better. yay! But I think we will see a big difference when it's all healed. Well, I least I hope.
