Well Dr. King said she had largest adenoids he'd seen in years, not in his career, but in years. They were blocking the back nasal passages, so no wonder she had sleep apnea and all other issues she's had. Tonsils were also VERY large, so that it was a big surgery. The spots in back of her throat are huge, I can only imagine the pain she's in. I've never had mine removed.
Megan was great at hospital, they said she was a perfect patient while there she ate 3 cups of crushed ice, they brought her a "big gulp" of water (like a extra large), a popsicle, 2 cups of sherbet and also a thing of Jell-O. Only when they said they wouldn't let her go if she didn't use the potty did she go, lol. She's got a bladder like a camel, unlike her mother. She was great at home that night...........then Weds. morning happened.....she tried to eat Cocoa Pebbles (after I told her yes, but she had to soak with milk), well she had with NO MILK, so she scrapped up her throat and still won't try to eat anything.
She's been so dizzy and unsteady, she's not even drinking much. She'll get a glass of water, put ice in it and then keep filling with ice during day and not ever finish it, just keep adding ice, but not enough to keep hydrated.
On Weds. she fought with me rest of day and by dinner time, had had only water and not even a full popsicle. Bill gets home was frustrated with how she wasn't eating and got upset with me and I let loose and said, what would you like me to do, sit on her and force it down. You talk to her, maybe she'll listen better. Didn't really improve.
Well by this morning, since she's been home (Tues. evening), she'd eaten a total of 4 popsicles, and 1 1/2 cups of Jell-O, water, and a pedisure* and just today ate a sherbet push up pop. She wanted Watermelon, Bill bought, she won't eat a bite, I made Macaroni salad, she only ate 1 bite, as I told her to at least try it and said no more.
I told Bill to buy some *Pedisure, to try and get her to at least get some nutrient in her, and she doesn't like it, but she did drink one full one yesterday.
She won't eat eggs, applesauce, yogurt, macaroni & cheese, broth, pancakes, runny oatmeal, anything soft we think of she's NO. I'm ready to scream, but I know it won't do any good.
She's getting to point last night Bill and I told her if she doesn't start eating we'll have to call the doctor. He's going to ask what she's been eating /drinking and then we're afraid he's going to tell us to take her to ER and be hooked to IV's (which she didn't have good experience with them removing her IV) and also possibility of feeding tube. I don't want to scare her, but she's scaring me. She only gone potty 3 times since Weds. morning and it's almost noon time on Friday now.
Megan also told us after telling her about calling Dr. "Well that's ok, God's carrying me through this Mom, you said so, so Dr. King can get mad at God not at me." I said God gave you a brain and you need to use it and the common sense to know you have to try and eat.
We've already got one dd with health issues that when she gets sick or doesn't eat/drink proper her colon starts to shut down and she's got to be rushed to ER due to this. I'm trying not to compare, as I know Megan doesn't have the kidney issues Molly does, but I'm getting worried.
Any suggestions?? Tips?? What you found worked??? Help,
Lisa
