Calico Ethel: I am hoping that by day 2 she will be feeling a little more up to drinking fluids at least and watching SpongeBob. We're going to stock up today on jellos, gatorade and other clear fluid type things. I told her little sister she has to be sure to be nice and quiet. Crossing my fingers. Tomorrow's the big day.
Evita: You bring up the topic of clear fluids vs the ice cream. This is true. So we're going with the jellos. I'm hoping that her surgery is successful in that we don't have the ongoing breathing issues and illness. I'm thinking that this is all tied into her pneumonia last year. That was scary enough.
Aarque: That would have scared the h*** out of me! Looking back knowing what you know now can't be the easiest thing to remember, at least it wouldn't be for me. I'm glad you made it!! You lived to tell the tale. You're a good example of the problem with the blood policies. Especially considering the age you were when it took place. Anyway, yeah, our daughter has some pretty swollen tonsils, it's time they come out...even though it's scaring me to no end.
Thank you for so many replies!!
