Doing well!

Emma's sitting on my lap and although a bit pale she's doing well. She likes taking the pulse ox off and playing with the light. She's obviously well-drugged but otherwise is doing great. She was SITTING UP on the gurney coming down the hall :) We skipped ICU and are waiting for a room on the floor of the surgical unit for tonight. Not drinking much yet.

Dr. O said the tonsils were wall to wall and that he expects her sleep apnea to be MUCH improved. Also, lots of gunk in the ears so he's sure her hearing should improve now. Also, the sinus swab will be back in about a week and we'll find out whether there's an antibiotic resistive bacteria in there and if so we'll know what to put her on to clear it up.

That's all for now, just snuggling my girl! Keep praying that she recovers well!!

  15. Wow! What an answer to prayer?! I laughed when I read she was sitting up on the gurney. Isn't it just like God to not only get her through surgery, and then not be in the ICU, and then to have her sitting up?! Praise the Lord!

  16. WONDERFUL NEWS!!! I had to run to the grocery store and was so happy to see the update when I got home. God has a very special plan for that little one; it's amazing to see how far she's come and how strong she's getting. I praise Him for giving her a family that could see past the gloom-and-doom diagnosis and give her all she needs to not only survive, but thrive. Blessings upon you all!

  17. Oh! I am so relieved!
    After a horrible tonsil experience with Adam I was so afraid that Emma wouldn't do well. I am thrilled, and amazed that she is recovering well enough to be sitting up. Wow! Praying that the rest of her recovery goes smoothly & that this helps alot with the apnea.

  18. WHEW!!! thank God, I am so relieved. Thanks for letting us know.
    I could not believe the difference in my daughter after those monster tonsils are removed, be prepared this time next week after the healing is complete for her to notably be hearing better, eating better, sleeping better, better balance, etc.
    It is the bigging of big things for little Emma!!
