Week 2 Post op Check Up

Emmalee has been resting decently thru the nights this week.

 Increased clots drainage an some fresh bloody drainage that has started as well.  Which is good to be DRAINING, WHOOHOO! We  had our routine check up This am.  The dr was pleased with the healing  and appearance of her nose but are progressing slowly . However we had a common set back with the healing process for her nose. The nose is healing and sometimes with that an infection can occur. She has an infection now. So they delayed her surgery this week. They placed her on another round of antibiotics and will check her again next week.

Instead they tried to do some cleanout in the office with their "special tools" awake. She was the bravest, most courageous girl I know. Tears streamed her face as she continually asked the Dr how far she was going and will it hurt! She sat their for 75% and just tolerated it. The Dr allowed her to hold the tools along with her. She explained to Emmalee that she never lets kids "help" her but em was special!This however was really rough on her   a vacuum, extra long metal tongs/( pincher-em says) and the INFAMOUS   LONG    BLACK   SCOPE....( that she has had so many times)  attempting to remove gunk and open the airway up, all awake in the office, sitting and enduring with Gods strength! She had tools and hands all coming toward her tender infected inflamed healing LIL nose.

She is quite AMAZING and she told me as we discussed what a trooper she is and how she always has a smile and is happy that people notice that   " God made me this way so he gets all the credit and well you raised me so you get a little...." cutely well said as she tilts her head. ( by a 7yr old)

So our return home is delayed with the infection but they  are treating her and have a great handle on her care! The Dr. explained that this can be part of the healing but  was hoping to avoid it. She  is going to watch her closely rather than waiting until meds are completed she still wants to keep monitoring her in hopes to get her healed and home. If she waited she may get behind the 8 ball and delay all the more. Once more being Thorough! Go Cleveland GO!

Thank you sweet Lord for your ways and wisdom is more than ours! Amen!
