Success!

It's only 9:30 am, but I just met with the ENT post-op & he is very optimistic that the tonsillectomy will improve Jordan's quality of life. It was easy to see when she's awake that her tonsils blocked about 70% of her airway (when she's healthy!), but he said that as soon as they put her to sleep they collapsed together and pretty much blocked her airway entirely. No wonder she snored and gurgled so much! Of course this will help, although it probably won't completely cure the gurgles. As with all thing Jordan, there are no simple, easy fixes, just improvements along the way.

Now we have about 24 hours to hang out here at the "Hotel Emanuel," and if all goes well we'll be home by this time tomorrow.
