Surgery!!
Today was the day that Stacy & I have been dreading for some time... Both of the Twins were born with enlarged adnoids and tonsils. In fact, Big Boy has snored since birth, and recently began bouts of sleep apnea. It became imperative that we solve the problem. Aubs was lucky enough to only have her adnoids removed, while Brandon actually had both tonsils and adnoids done at the same time. The day certainly didn't go as planned, which isn't a surprise for our drama prone family! The surgery was smooth, but we learned that Aubrey has an aversion to certain anesthesia. In fact, when they woke her after the surgery she went absolutely crazy for over an hour. It took 3 nurses to hold her down until she finally faded off to sleep. Now, as you can see by the picture above, she is back to her old self. By 'old self' I mean wearing her underwear on her head and acting like a fool... Brandon had a much easier time with the surgery and anesthesia, but he's really struggling, as they suggested he would. He still hasn't talked a word, and sleeps on and off. The picture above was the only smile I've coaxed out of him all day... It's such a bummer to see their little bodies struggling, but wsa definitely a necessary surgery. So, the coming days will be all about freezer pops, snow cones & healing!!
