It’s just been a strange week since our girl’s tonsilectomy/adnoinds/no-tubes.

First, there’s the pain and no-sleep of the healing process. We’ve been up every night the last 7 days. Pain, crying, discomfort, medicine, crankiness, etc. and that’s just Rachelle and I! : )

Last night she was up from 3-5am. We all feel like zombies, like having a new born. She is healing and is feeling better each day. She is talking more and eating more normal food and less popsicles and ice cream.

Second, we’re not sure she’s better, not yet at least. We don’t see a big difference yet. She is still sleeps with her mouth open and now her nose is clogged all day long. When she talks, she sounds like she’s talking through her nose, it just doesn’t sound like her. That’s hard.

Third, we just need to sleep. Part of the perspective we need is gone with our sleep. But we’re trusting God she’s better and that we’ll begin to see an improvement in her over time. That’s our hope at least. We have a follow up app’t with the surgeon next week so we’ll see what happens.

Lastly and better, Jesus healed her ears. The day of the surgery, the doctors found out the fluid that had been in her ears for 9 months, had drained and so they didn’t need to put tubes in. That was the main reason they were going to do the surgery in the first place, but God chose to heal her. We remember that every day.

I’m just tired. I want to work out, today is arms/shoulders/abs of course. I hope I do. I would also like to go for a run. We’ll see.
