Ivy is not doing well today. She barely slept last. She is still VERY uncomfortable and tired, and really, really grumpy (which is understandable). She's spent a lot of the day just lying on the couch and there has been quite a bit of crying, but I think this is all normal. On the bright side, I was allowed to remove her bandages this morning and all three sites look like they are healing well and she has minimal bruising. She really is being so tough and brave and my heart just aches for her. I wish I could take the pain away.
Adding to the roughness of today, I just found out that I have tonsillitis and an ear infection AGAIN!! I'll spare you pictures this time! Its gross. I can't believe this is happening again. I called my ob's office and they wanted to see me immediately, so I went in this afternoon. They are quite concerned by the size of my tonsils and the frequency of them getting infected so they referred me to an Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist. I have an appointment on the 18th. They want to discuss whether its necessary to have a tonsillectomy now, or wait until after I have the baby.... either way, it will happen. I guess we will just have to wait and see when. I got a prescription for some antibiotics, so hopefully I can get rid of it before I start going deaf this time, and before I infect anyone else in the family.
Here's to hoping Ivy is feeling better tomorrow. Crossing my fingers.
