Isabela got out earlier today from a tonsilectomy, adnoids and no-tubes after all. They were planning to put tubes in her ears but she didn’t need them at the last minute. Her liquid had mostly cleared and it wasn’t as thick as they expected. Jesus was already healing her going into the surgery. We went in at 8:30am and got out at 3pm.

She did well with the anaesthetic, both Rachelle and I had a couple of breaking points, but we were strong for our girl. You have to be in those situations and then you cry in the bathroom.

We expect her recovery to be about 1-2 weeks, depending on how she does with pain, nausea, bleeding, etc. Lots of popsicles, ice chips. She can eat anything she wants and feels good doing. She’s sleeping right now. She’ll miss a week of school and will need to rest most of that time.

Thanks for praying. Please pray for her recovery and for strength for the parents.
