Home Sweet Home

We are home now..Ellie's procedure took about 20 minutes!! as I wrote the previous one it was about 10 minutes later...I was so surprised that it went so fast..She is doing fabulous, better than I expected! Ellie has a little pain but she is tolerating it..I thought she would since she has been use to a sore throat for so long. Now we are onto the recovery!! Woohoo...no more strep throat. She is talking a bit funny and is a little pale but she is loving the fact she can have icecream and all that good yummy cold stuff!

Quick update

Ellie went in for her surgery about 10 minutes ago. we had to be here at 6:30 am! She is so brave. We haven't kept anything from her and have told her about everything that was coming her way and I thought she might be nervous or whiny or cry but none of the above! I think I'm more nervous than she is! Good Grief! Marshall gave her a blessing and all will be good. We'll let you all know when she is done.

Ellie Belly is getting her tonsils out!

Ellie will be going into surgery tomorrow (Thursday) to have her tonsils removed. Ellie has had strep throat for 9 months!! Yes 9 months! We have gone into the doctor 7 times and she has been treated from each visit. She has been given several different antibiotics in hopes that one will work. The doctors feel that it just doesn't go away. This poor girl just deals with it...Her throat hurts constantly and her complaints about it are minimal..I know when it starts to get bad and we have to get her back in when she starts to talk funny. So this will be a good thing for her.
And I really wished I wouldn't have watched Oprah yesterday!!! I hardly do and I happen to stumble across this one about how you can contract a staph infection from having surgery...ugh.... Marshall will give her a blessing and I'm sure she will be fine but man I hate that crap, when I watch something and then I end up having to go through it..I'm such a worrier though!

So for the next two weeks I've had to take work off..She has to be home for that time due to the pain and bleeding. I can't send her to school like that and I can't work at home when she will be there in this state..So wish us luck that the financial part won't be to hard to get through! And pray for Ellie that her pain will be minimal! We will update her condition when the procedure is done...actually I'm jealous she gets all the pudding, icecream, popsicles she can handle!
