Mckenzie did great during her recovery.
She was a lot better than I thought she would be. The doctor said that kids are either act like nothing happened or their a wreck. Thankfully she was good overall. She did well taking her pain mess for the first 5 days and then it turned into a fight to get her to take her meds.
My mom flew out the week after and watched her whil ei was working, Mckenzie was doing really well 1 week post-op. By last Friday she was doing good, overall ate well throughout her recovery, getting fluids in her was hit and miss but good overall.
She returned to daycare yesterday and had a great day :)
Surprisingly during her recovery she wanted to use the potty all the time. Before she had surgery she was doing great in the potty. Now she is all about going to the potty and even tells us when she needs to go. Not quite ready for big girl underwear yet but it's great to see her be able to know when she needs to go and tells us :)

Surgery day
We arrived at the hospital at 8:30am, she went back to surgery around 10:30am. We were starring by then because we hadn't eaten since Mckenzie wasn't allowed to eat this morning. The nurse suggested we got get something to eat but to come back to the surgery waiting area that way we were there when her surgeon came out.
Once her doctor came out, she told us everything went well. She did the brochoscopy and found laryngomalacoa and cleft which they repaired. They removed her tonsils and a portion of the adenoids, clipped her tongue tie, and replaced her ear tubes. She's doing much better than I thought.
They told us some kids want to eat regular food which I was surprised because I had my tonsils removed, granted as an adult which they say is worse, I know I wanted nothing to eat for a good 7-10 days! Her doctor said to order her favorite food off the menu. She has eat several pieces of cheese pizza and applesauce.
She has to be taking in fluids good before she can go home, she did good today but tomorrow will have to drink more or they won't discharge her obviously so she doesn't become dehydrated.
I'm praying for a speedy recovery for her. My mom flies out on Saturday and will watch her next week since she'll be home for 2 weeks recovering. Jeremy's grandparents are coming on Thursday for a visit
