Some Things Dont Go As Planned....

Well, just 48 hours before Alex's scheduled tonsillectomy she came down with a high fever and swollen tonsils....strep throat again!  The surgery was off!  It is so frustrating.  Having a surgery of any kind is such a mental thing.  Preparing myself and Alex for what was to come.  We will be rescheduling it soon...maybe even on Monday.  The crazy thing is that this is probably the worst case of strep she has ever had.  Her throat was so swollen that she couldn't even eat or drink.  After a day on antibiotics she is feeling much better and will be back at school tomorrow.

To add to all the craziness I had to have a tooth pulled yesterday under conscious sedation.  The tooth had had a root canal and crown about a year ago but somehow it had cracked and an infection got in there.  So, they had to pull it in pieces and get some of the roots out of my jaw.  I am a bit swollen and sore today but it will be fine in a couple days.

Ben (my husband) left this morning at 4 am for a 5 day business trip to Washington D.C.  He works for a dermatologist who does liposuction so he is going to an International Plastic Surgeon Convention.  He is one of the exhibitors. He has been working super hard to get it all ready! I am sure he will do great!

That's all for now.....enjoy the rest of your week.
