Adenoid Surgery

What a time we’ve had since our last update! Aanika came through her surgery with flying colors (this past Thursday) and was back to acting like her old self by that evening. We are so pleased with the results…it’s amazing that her speech and sleeping have already both improved. We could hear a difference in her breathing immediately as well as hearing air movement through her nose when she spoke! It’s kind of strange though because it sounds like bubbles gurgling when she talks…hopefully that’ll go away when the swelling goes down.

Well, we’ve been here one whole year already (can you believe it?!) and we’re set for a record-breaking week of high temperatures (93/71 through Wed). The neighborhood fun pool isn’t open yet, and if you remember from last summer, a critter popped our little play pool so we went out today and bought a bigger and better model! It’s actually large enough for all 3 of us to lay in it and more than enough room for romping around.

1st Emergency Room Visit

The things going on at the moment is that Aanika is slowly getting over her separation anxiety, still growing like a weed and is scheduled for Adenoid removal surgery on May 19th. She has almost complete closure of her nasal airway. Her tonsils should come out too, but she is at least one year too young for that procedure. Hopefully this will help solve the sleeping issues that has bothered her for so long! The other thing that happened recently is that Aanika had her first trip to the Emergency Room. She popped her elbow out of place (Nursmaid's Elbow), just before bedtime, while teasing her Daddy. Luckily it was a quick and simple fix and 5 minutes afterwards you would never have known anything was wrong.
