Yesterday was a long day for us! Ailyn got her PEG tube removed and now sports a new mic-key button. It looks SO much better than the PEG. Much smaller. She can now wear shirts without having a huge bulge. No more long tube hanging from her belly. To remove the PEG is an outpatient procedure. They put a numbing cream on the outside of her skin. Then pull HARD and QUICK while I held her down. Hearing your child scream out in pain is honestly one of the worst sounds ever. Ailyn makes it so much harder by staring at me while she is screaming!!
Ailyn was very very sore after. I piggy backed Motrin and Tylenol for 24 hours. She woke in pain throughout the night. During the day today she was crawling around faster and seemed to be more comfortable. I am hoping tonight is better for her.
Ailyn also is getting over strep throat. It is going around Camden's class. He got it earlier in the week. I was lucky enough to get it too. So we are all on Amoxicillin. Fun times at our house once again!
