Sigh....Relief

I can now breath a small sigh of relief. Lani had her surgery this morning at 10:00. It took about 45 mins and she did great. They said that her tonsils were huge and that the Adenoids were just as big and had been blocking her nasal airway. She is now enjoying lots of popsicles and ice cream. I hope over the next week her recovery will continue to go well.

Sleep Study and Tonsillectomy



Alien baby



We asked for a sleep study to definitively say that Lani had sleep apnea and that we should remove her tonsils. She was so brave while they put the wires on, but her discomfort of it all quickly turned her smile to a frown. We had only expected to stay overnight and be released in the morning. Wrong! Instead they admitted us due to Lani's lack of oxygen intake during the night. We got the conformation we needed that the tonsils were blocking her air flow. I had no idea that they would plan on scheduling surgery for this weekend. She will go into surgery bright and early tomorrow. I feel bad because I have no way of preparing her for the pain that she is about to endure. I will keep everyone posted.
