Evy had her pre-op appointment today with her ENT surgeon. She had been running some high fevers lately and we were a little nervous about whether or not the doctor would want to postpone the surgery. After a negative influenza and strep test and a normal chest x ray, we suspect that it is probably her teeth giving her trouble.
We are happy it's nothing that will keep her from moving on with the surgery at this point, but the worrying isn't over quite yet. The hard part will be keeping her healthy for the next 8 days, and anyone who has kids knows that this is no easy task! Anything can happen in a week so we are going to do our best to keep her inside and away from anyone who might be sick. If she should have any fevers or cold symptoms before the 11th, we would need to call him immediately to reschedule for about 3 weeks later.
We obviously can't wait for the surgery and don't want to put it off, but ultimately we want everything to go as smoothly and safely as possible for Evy. So, if anything happens and surgery gets postponed, we will know it's for the best! After talking with her surgeon today, I know more than ever that we are SO ready for this... 1 more week!!!
we went on lockdown pre-surgery! :) and it worked!
ReplyDeleteSo did we! Sophie had trouble getting rid of a nasty virus right before her surgery. Her ENT was not optimistic when we took her in a week before, so we made sure she stayed home in the meantime. When we went back a few days later, she was all clear to go! I know the feeling, but I'm sure she will be fine. :) Hang in there!
