Just a quick note to let you know my daughter had her surgery today and is doing well. She did much better today than at the blood draw or the last surgery but they still had to sedate her with a shot before even taking her back for anesthesia.
The good news is we may have solved the puzzle as to why she had been having so much trouble with being sick and having ear aches after years of doing well. The doctor was expecting to remove her adenoids but discovered the real problem was "mulberry turbinates". Funny name huh, sounds like something you'd find in the garden! It turns out there are these three turbinates in your nasal cavity and they are made of tissues that humidify the air you breathe in. Hers were extra long, extending past where they should, and very large and blue rather than small and pink. They were blocking her actual air flow, affecting her speech and blocking where the tubes from her ears drain. The doctor took care of them and in a few weeks she should be doing better! Yeah!
One last bit of good news, I found my battery charger in a tote I had used at Christmas time. Yeah! So in a few days, after my little sweetie is feeling better, I'll be able to get back to serious blogging!
Thank you for all your prayers and support for my daughter. It's been a tough week but we're on the way back to normal, for us at least, and I'm grateful for all your kind words.
Hugs,
Dawn
