Zoey and Avery were both supposed to have their tonsils and adenoids removed in Anchorage. I figured if I was gonna do it might as well save myself an extra trip and just get them both done. We got to Anchorage on Monday, to find out that I had the dates messed up and was supposed to be there on Tuesday. The Dr’s office was extra nice and helped us out to make sure we had proper housing for the extra night.
We decided to just stay and do something fun since we had all day Tuesday to kill. When we went to dinner, Avery told me her tummy was hurting. When we got to the hotel she started vomiting and vomiting and vomiting….we spent Tuesday in the hotel room with her. She was one sick little girl. It took 6 days for the bug to get out of her body. They were not able to do surgery on her. I am taking her back this coming week to hers out. Hopefully it will be a much less eventful trip.
Zoey was able to get hers done. She went though surgery like a champ. The nurses at the surgery center said that they had not had as good a patient as her in years. The DR said that he hadn’t seen tonsils and adenoids that large in a long time! We knew she is a special girl. She did develop an infection and we had to get her antibiotics. That was a setback, but she is doing better. Getting more and more of her “Zoey spark” everyday.
I”m very thankful for our neighbor and friend, Chrystal, who went with me to help, since I was still recovering from surgery myself…little did she know what she was getting herself into. I couldn’t have done it without her! She is amazing!
They got to pick new PJ’s to wear to the surgery. Avery ended up lounging around in them and wearing them home in the car.
Zoey after the “silly” medicine. She is a little dopey. They are taking her in.
After surgery with her “cool” shades and stuffed cat to match that the nurses gave her.
