September 9, 2008

Today was Rhapsody's tonsil/adenoid surgery. She went in for surgery at 8:04 AM and she was out of surgery at 8:36 AM. She did really well and had very minimal bleeding. She did not wake up from the anesthesia very well and was trying desperately to pull the IV tubes out of her hand. We were finally able to get her to calm down and we took her home at 10:30 AM. The first 24 hours were ROUGH!! We thought we were going to have to take her to the hospital because she refused to drink fluid and she refused to take the medicine. My mom came over on Wednesday afternoon and was able to get Rhapsody to start drinking juice! Yay!! Finally, on Wednesday night, Bub convinced her to take the antibiotics and I mixed some of the pain medication in with it. She then drank and ate just fine. She healed very well and we are looking forward to a much healthier Rhapsody!!

The picture in the Camouflage was taken at the surgery center right before surgery. The picture below was taken the morning after surgery! All of the tatoos and stickers signify each time she drank or took her medicine!!
