Tia and Josh both had surgery on Tuesday March 16th
Before... This is Tia's "Marilyn Monroe" look :0)
Tia had tubes put back in her ears and her tonsils taken out. The Dr. said that she had VERY large tonsils and a huge bunch of scar tissue in her right ear (from so may infections) the tube from the last set was embedded in it. I think that she will feel a lot better now... yeah!
We only got "after" pictures of Joshy, it was pretty tricky to get 2 kids in there at the same time. With Josh going home after surgery and Tia staying overnight.
Josh had ear tubes placed (after 9 ear infections in 1 year) and his adenoids removed. The Dr. said that his adenoids were completely blocking off his nasal cavity, poor squashy :0(
He had RSV last month, he gets croup every time he gets sick and he has had 3 different antibiotics in the past 2 weeks to try to clear up the latest ear infections. When the Dr. put the tubes in, his ears were still full of fluid and super swollen :0(
Tia all set up in her hospital room, they had a regular hospital bed set up for her when we got up there. I tried very hard not to break out in hysterical laughter when I saw it, I managed to explain the need for the fully enclosed bed without laughing. I had this very clear image of Tia jumping out of bed and crawling down the hall dragging her IV behind her in the middle of the night :0). She ended up doing SO well after surgery that we talked the Dr. into letting her come home, we knew that both she and I would be a lot more comfortable at home overnight.
