Post-Surgery Update

Lily had a really rough time when she came out of surgery, but has done fairly well as long as we keep up advil and tylenol every 3 hours...even at night. Staying on top of the pain has been key for sure! The antibiotic has caused her to have a very upset stomach. We changed about 9 messy, diarrhea diapers yesterday, and she has farts so darn stinky that it could make monkeys fall out of trees! I switched her to the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast) to help with her stomach ache and gave mylanta and that seemed to help. She is groggy a lot and then has trouble going to sleep so she's up and down with mood. Moments of screaming followed by periods of laughing. Hopefully as she gets passed the worst of the pain, she'll feel much better having her ears dry and clear. They say that a few days in they can spike a fever and be in more pain due to a scab forming in her throat. Let's hope we miss that boat!
