Health Update

The 2 weeks prior to Christmas were crazy here as both Taylor and I had 1 planned and 1 unplanned health issue.  The unplanned was me going to the ER at 4:30am on Wed Dec 7th in an ambulance as I was having issue breathing due to severe bronchitis.  I had a bad reaction to the contrast they gave me when they wanted to do a CAT scan.  I ended up sedated and on a ventilator for 2 days.  All in all I was in the hospital 6 days.  Fortunately my sister came down and got Taylor and between her and my SIL they watched Taylor until Sunday when they brought her home.  Saturday my Mom came up and stayed until Thursday. It was nice to come home and have her here for a few days to take care or me and Taylor.  I am now 100% better.

On Wednesday December 21st, Taylor had surgery to correct her lip.  This surgery was planned!!!!  The left side was higher than the right side and the plastic surgeon made them event and touched up her nose just a bit.  She came home the same day.  She wasn't a happy camper afterwards but by Thursday she was pretty much back to herself.  It is healing nicely.  All the swelling has gone down.  We go back to the doctor for a follow up next week.  This should be the last of the surgery for a few more years.  She will need her nose evened out a bit when she is older and most likely will need bone grafting in her mouth but time will tell on that.  No dental work will start until she starts loosing her baby teeth.

Here is hoping that we are both healthier in 2012!!!!!

Waiting for the doctor to start.

Leaving the hospital.  She enjoyed her ride to the car as much as anyone could after surgery and some pain medicine.
