....6 am tomorrow morning T will be admitted to the hospital. Things have been going pretty well this past week, we did go back to the ENT on Thursday due to extremely swollen tonsils, and yes she now has tonsillitis as well. But the doctor has decided to leave them in, he said the recovery for someone her age is horrible, so he would rather wait and hopefully they will heal with the removal of the adenoid. Thursday was just a rough day, that night T was really sick vomiting most of the night, it happens every few weeks because of the drainage.
Last night she was having a difficult time sleeping because her ears were hurting and since she is not allowed to take any medication right now, we just had to help her through it. She has been very emotional lately and I think that she is just done, just raw. She has been through a lot and kept a smile on her face the whole time. She is amazing. Sounds crazy, but it really was a good week :)
She had a really good weekend though, was very excited for Delila's birthday, asking about it for days, and had a great time at the party.
So tomorrow is the day, I don't know that N or I will be able to sleep much tonight, but we are mentally prepared for a long week. We have explained to her about the surgery and we revisit it a little each night, she is not feeling OK with the idea but we at least want her to know a little of what is going to happen. She says she is scared, which is understandable, but I don't want her to be scared. I am truly dreading the idea of them taking her away from me for the surgery and teary just thinking of how heart breaking that is going to be. I am going to pack her some of her special comfort items to take, but she won't be able to have them until she is in recovery. I am feeling a little helpless because she is going to be so scared and I won’t be able to do anything. I am glad we going to get this over with and start our journey to a healthy T.
She should be in surgery by 7:30am our time so if you are up, make sure you SMILE for her!
