Bryn's Surgery

I am so behind with my posts it is way pathetic.

I am so behind on my posts, it is really pathetic. Brynlee had her tonsils out on December 7th.

This is pictures of her sadness. Her tonsils have been touching for who knows how long. After her horrible bout with strep throat and RSV that landed her in the hospital last Februrary, I asked the doctor if her throat could be a reason why she doesn't eat at all some days as well as her poor weight gain. He agreed that it could be a reason and said if she had any more episodes then we would look into getting them out. Well because of insurance purposes we had to switch doctors (I literally cried and cried), so I took her to another amazing pediatirican after Kynz was born and asked his opinion. After hearing that she had lymphocytic colitis as well as HUGE tonsils that were touching. He took one look and said they had to come out. The ENT said that this was also the reason why she woke up almost every night. So after having to deal with scheduling issues, we finally got them out. She did soooo much better this round of surgery. We had warned the anesthesiologist of what happened last time. He had advised us not to leave her side for an entire week and that we would have to sleep by her and everything to keep an eye on her breathing. It did not help that she had a little cold, but the anesthesiologist said she did a lot better then he thought she would do with her vitals. He came and checked on her twice to make sure she was okay. I was sooo impressed and grateful. I am soooo grateful for amazing, caring doctors. We had no choice but to hurry and get this done before the end of the year. Our insurance covered it 100%, which will be the last time they ever do that. Starting 2012 they will only cover 70% with a 20,000 dollar out of pocket instead of 8,000 dollars which we met this year. BLAH Since her surgery, Bryn has finally slept through the night. It has been wonderful for her. Now I wish Kynz would do the same :)
