After
Paige had her tonsilectomy and adnoidectomy on Friday, January 27th. They had a little trouble getting an IV started in her hand, so had to put it in her foot. I think that was the worst part of the whole ordeal!
She came out of anesthesia great and wanted to start drinking water right away. That was a really good sign. By 4:00, she had 4 popsicles and some pudding. She was up and playing and was in a great mood. The nurse kept telling us she was the best T&A (tonsils and adnoids) patient she'd ever had.
Grandma Laurel brought Kyle and Cameron down after school. She was very happy to see her brothers and Grandma. And, of course, Grandma brought lots of stuff for Paige to play with.
She fell asleep about 4:30 and slept through her dose of pain medicine. When she woke up at 6:00 she was very crabby and running a fever. And her throat dried out while she was sleeping. Josh and the nurse got the meds in her with quite the fight from the little redhead. After her meds kicked in she was back to normal.
Josh and I both spent the night at the hospital with Paige. It was a very long night!! Grandma Laurel stayed at our house with the boys. Thanks, Grandma.
Paige was a real trooper and I am very proud of her. I know she's a tough little girl and she really proved it! Daddy did a good job, too. I think it was harder on him than on Paige.
She was discharged about 9:30 on Saturday morning and has been doing great since we got home. Grandpa Roger and Aunt Renae came over to visit this afternoon and Paige was very full of energy and happy to see them.
We go back for a check-up with Dr. Gonzales in two weeks.
