Well folks, Amelia is a few grams lighter after this weekend.
I know it has been a while since an update and I owe everyone a Halloween and Christmas update, but this one will have to come first.
Amelia finally hit the point where her tonsils were big enough that they had to come out. Her tonsils have always been big. The nephrologists have been watching them since dialysis started and they have always been big. Finally they were touching and making it hard for Amelia to breathe and sleep. So they had to come out! This is not unusual in transplant patients and something we had been planning on for a while now.
Friday the 25th we went in to Primary Children’s again to get those tonsils taken out. They were planning on keeping her overnight so make sure she was drinking enough so we packed for a night in the hospital again. However! She was doing well and drinking enough that we left the hospital at 7:00 that night and went home.
She continues to get better and is feeling well enough now that she is going to make it to school on Wednesday the 30th! We are all glad that she has recovered so well from what is actually her 24th surgery.
Thanks to everyone reading this, and thanks for continuing to keep Amelia in your hearts and prayers.
Until the next one,
-Justin
PS. Check it out, they took the camera into the surgery for us and took some pictures!
