Thanks so much everyone
We were able to come home today b/c the little bugger actually got the food down and kept it down so she could get out of there...lol.
(she said the turkey tasted like cat food, funny thing, I don't remember ever serving her cat food
)
The surgery took about 40 minutes. Then her ENT came out and showed us all the pics of her throat and everything. Well, her throat is VERY swollen, about 50%+ more than it should be, and she has nodes/nodules all down her throat, esophogus and trachea...they only took a few biopsies for now...she said the acid reflux was quite bad, so she doubled her prevacid dosage.
We'll get the biopsy results on the 27th...then we weill also find out when she has to have that tube up her nose and down her throat, hanging by her epiglotis for a full 24 hours...to test the level of the acid...that tube is hooked up to a monitor that she will wear. She was not happy hearing about that...especially that she will miss another day of school(she's not going tomorrow, she doesn't want to wake up...I make her, but she falls back to sleep and her bgl's have been in the 200's...and she woke up w/ a reading of 129. She went up to 210 w/ the surgery. I got her down to 108 after she ate lunch.
So, that's where we are at. She's tired and sore. She didn't like the laughing gas(they gave her that b/f they hooked up her IV b/c she was dehydrated this morning and they couldn't get a good vein w/o hurting her)...and she said she remembers she had the oddest laugh, literally a belly laugh...lol. She remembers laughing at the doc, etc...
The nice endo came up to see her...we like him...he's awesome
OK, I actually fell asleep for a couple hours and didn't know if it was 6 in the morning or night...lol...I so don't like that feeling!
Her dad did go w/ us...granted, he slept most of the time but he never did his neb treatment and he looked like, hmmm, some creature from "Night of the Living Dead" I suppose...and he thought double pneumonia was something you got over quickly. HA! (w/COPD as well). Dork.
I'm really shutting up b/c I have to make Eri drink something and give her some of that pudding.
Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes!
Will update when we get the biopsy results...
