Pumpkin has finally started eating again and having less pain after her tonsillectomy that was done on the 18th. She couldn’t get enough popsicles last evening while watching a movie together, but only ate half of her supper prior to the movie. She said it didn’t taste good. This is a common complaint – I think it is part of the picture, but not sure what to make of it. After eating she later had reflux symptoms and needed tums, which has happened a couple days in a row… 🙁
I am glad for the increased appetite, but was hoping for much more after 2 weeks of rest… she’s down to 89 lbs 🙁 but has only lost 3 since the tonsillectomy as she was 92.6 on the day of the tonsillectomy. She still has a little throat pain.

Interestingly, the ENT yesterday said that of the 3 kids’ pathologies on their tonsils, Pumpkin’s tonsils were the only that showed ongoing chronic infection… she was not symptomatic and I was wondering whether to even go through with the tonsillectomy at the time, but now glad I did. She had that squirrely problem creep up too many times this year!
