surgery went well

[campingboaters]

How AWEFUL for her and the rest of your family.  Just what you needed THIS week -- of all weeks!  Keep pushing those fla-vor-ice pops.  The cold will help her throat and the juice will help re-hydrate her some.    I'd be wimpering too, if I was going through what she is going through.  
 
I hope you all feel MUCH better VERY soon!

If all this keeps up, better take her to the Dr.  You might have the onset of some kind of flu bug.  Be sure to push those fluids and keep an eye on her.  Take care......both of you.

How is  the little one doing ? Is it back to almost normal now ? Is the flu like symptomps gone ? How is the MOMMY doing ?  :W

Monday 10 am
Zoe is having a bad day.  Dr. said it's normal to have a really good day
then a really bad one.  She threw up again this am just after she drank a
drinkable yogurt.  She hasn't been eating or drinking enough.  She's getting
herself into a vicious cycle. Her stomach hurts so she doesn't eat, she
doesn't eat because her stomach hurts. Dr. said force her to eat even just a
teaspoonful of some food every few minutes... Baby steps.  I was originally
thinking that she had a good chance of going to school today.  We will be
lucky if she goes in for Friday.  Judging by today, I'd say not until next
week.

Monday 8 pm

Got her to eat some good stuff today.  I pureed a batch of chicken soup.  She ate 3/4 cup.  Also managed a jello and a jar of baby pureed pears.  Drank lots of water and jucie.  Still doesn't want icecream!?!

Tuesday 10 am

Things are looking a bit better this am.  She woke up hungry, asking for some jello.  She soaking in the tub right now.  Her worst complaint today is a bad backache.  Most likely from being in bed so long.  Also when she talks it looks like it's hurting.  She seems to be trying to keep her tongue from moving when she talks. She didn't have any pain med through the night and slept pretty well.  I think holding off on the pain meds as long as possible is helpful in keeping her stomach from hurting.  They Tylenol with codeine is very constipating!  I wish the doctor has warned us about that ahead of time.  I would have gotten baby pureed prunes.  Poor kid just had her first bm in a week!  

As for me.... I am getting cabin fever big time!  The highlight of my day is walking DD#2 to the bus stop in the am.  I wish I could have gotten out this past weekend but I was flat out on the couch, exhausted from 24 hr care of DD and also suffering with a nasty chest cold.  But I'm better this am... (Thank God for Nyquil)

It's still looking like Zoe won't be going to school until next week.  We'll see...

Hope she starts to feel better and better from today on.

There will be good and bad times with a bit of pain.  If this doesn't go away soon, then be sure to visit the Dr.

oooo...poor baby!!!! (both of you!!!)  I just read the posts about poor Zoe.  Hey...Tylenol with codeine will MAKE me throw up! Most pain medications do. The only one I can take that doesn't upset my stomach terribly is Motrin and they wouldn't let me take that after surgery because it contains asprin.     I  just had to suffer with the pain...beat throwing up!

How did yesterday go ?

How did yesterday go ?

Yesterday was actually a pretty good day!

She seems a bit better yesterday but speaking is getting very difficult for her.
It seems like the base of her tongue is very painful.  While she seemed to be feeling better, she looked horrible....   pasty white with dark circles under her eyes.  She had a bath. That helped with her backache.  She ate a split pea soup, a chocolate milk shake and some baby pureed beef with gravy.  That's the most she has eaten in almost a week.


It's 10:15 am on Wed. and she's just gotten up.  She woke around 2 asking for pain med.  She's grumpy this am and, of course, refusing food.  Boy this is work.   I think I need to get her out of the house for even a little while toady.  Get her feeling more normal.  I think we'll run to the pet store to pick up some supplies needed for the fish tanks.  It's a sort trip but one that she always enjoys.  I think it will do her good to get some fresh air and it's supposed to be really nice today, kinda fallish...63deg. the high.  Tomorrow is supposed to be even better with a high of 76deg.

She needs to move little bit, in my un asked for opinion. Take her for a movie and ice cream and sruff maybe ? The more she moves faster she will heal at this stage, I guess. Looks like the wost is behind you though !

We were getting the last few things from the old house (the purchaser is closing today) and was surprised to hear that our neighbours little duaghter has strep throat, and the young son has pnumenia, the older DD had dislocated her knee cap and was home for a month already. When it rains, it pours I guess.

After a late start, Zoe is up and asking to go to school!  I'm off to help her shower and bring her to school.  I don't think she'll manage the whole day but we'll see!

I bet she will pull it off, the whole day

She may get a bit tired on the first day but all her friends will make her feel better and getting back to school will help keep her moving around.

It is downhill from here on Her good old, zippy, happy, naughty Zoe is back  :J  :J
