On April 21st, Brooke had surgery to remove her Adenoids, & Tonsils, and have tubes put in her ears. The surgery itself ended up being a little more complicated than expected, as her Adenoids had compromised over 80% of her airway, and also impacted her Tonsils, making them harder to remove. Due to this, and the fact that she had a lot of fluid on her left ear, the surgery took about 30 minutes longer than anticipated. Her recovery from anesthesia was difficult and the first few days post-op was extremely painful. Her recovery was a complete 180 from what we experienced with Austin after his surgeries, so it broke my heart to see her struggling so much! She was out of school for a week and returned on April 28th. As of today she seems to be back to normal and proved this with her unending breakfast comprised of: 4 bowls of cereal, part of a banana, raisins, a buddy fruit, orange juice, and a double bowl of grits. Hopefully this appetite will continue and she can work on gaining back the 4-5lbs that she lost, leaving her at a measly 42 pounds.
