We must have hit a record in getting in and out of the hospital this time. We mentioned to the nurse this morning of our hopes of going home and she came back with an attending physician who gave us the nod. Believe it or not, we were out of there and back home before noon today.
She's still quite sore and seems to have some tenderness around the neck which could be any number of things from reaction to the pain killers, antibiotics or anesthesia.
I hesitate in saying this, but we had an interesting experience in them believing she had some nits in her hair just as she was going in to surgery yesterday. I guess it can happen to all of us, but as I was looking at what they were seeing, I didn't agree, however, I don't have a trained eye and they had to take precautions, and therefore treat and quarantine her the remainder of the stay. In fact, it was the first time I've even heard of the term "nits," which means the presence of head lice, but in the form of a caccoon in larva stage. No telling where it could have been picked up since we read that it can take up to 2 weeks to incubate. There was no sign of any living specimans or bites, so I suppose, if it is an actual case, it was caught in good time.
Anyway, it's good to be home. As usual, she may very well be up to school on Monday, but we may keep her home for precaution.
