Lolli's surgery :(

Lolli failed 2 hearing tests at school as well as one at the ENT her pediatrician referred her to. They tried FloNase to clear up the excess fluid that was causing the hearing loss but it didn't help. Her ENT recommended tubes and possibly removing her adenoids. Lauren and Zach were unsure at first if the surgery was necessary but after much research and thought, decided to consent. So Lolli had surgery today! Zach was out of town so Lauren dropped Pop & Oz off at Papaw Morgans's. Lolli was so brave at the surgery center. She and Lauren played Hangman and Dots while they waited to be called back. In their room, Lolli got to put on a hospital gown and slipper socks. She also got a bag of goodies to play with while she watched Disney Junior and waited to be taken back. The surgery only took about 15 minutes and Lolli did very well! She was uncomfortable at first and crying of a sore throat, which was heartbreaking! A popsicle helped. She napped in the car for a long time and eventually was able to eat an ice cream cone and take some ibuprofen to help with the pain. By bedtime tonight, she was feeling much better! She had amoxicillan, steroids, and ear drops for a week. They did remove her adenoids which the doc says may cause bad breath for a couple weeks but that's no big deal in the long run. What a trooper!
