Ok, so we haven't been to the doctor quite that many times, but between last year and the past couple of months, it sure feels like it! Kristin went to her post-op visit this morning. The doctor said the pathology report of her tonsils showed that they were big (he said he didn't remember them being so big) and that the pits (did you know tonsils have pits?) were inflammed and full of infection. He is worried about her high fever (this morning it was almost 103), so he basically told me not to let her leave the house. No going anywhere to expose her to anymore germs. So much for her going to work with me....the preschool is like a giant petri dish! We will hang out here the rest of the week and if her temp stays up and isn't gone by next week, we have to go back. She's on an antibiotic, so if there is an infection somewhere, hopefully that will take care of it. If her fever goes down and stays that way, she won't have to go back for 6 weeks. Oh, when we were checking out after the visit, the receptionist said the most beautiful words to me...."no charge!" I about passed out!
The past two nights have been the worst so far. Kristin has been waking up screaming with her throat and ears hurting. The doctor said that the steroids from surgery have worn off, so now she's getting the full effects of the inflammation. But from here on out, it should get easier. Kristin is laying in my bed watching Disney channel. By the end of the week we'll both be dying to get out of the house. Anyone have any good movie suggestions?
