Update on Levi

We took Levi into Dr. Garners office this morning for him to be seen and the doctor check out his throat.  Levi is still extremely swollen and if the swelling doesn't go down then they will consider surgery to remove Levi's tonsils.  Right now at this point his tonsils are to big to do anything, so Dr. Garner gave Levi a prescription that would help with the swelling go down.  The nurse is going to call and see how Levi is doing and he has a follow up appointment to see Dr. Garner in a couple of weeks.  As for now Levi is resting, he sleeps a lot and he is able to have all of the Popsicles that he wants.  Right now our goal is to get the swelling down, fever down and to keep him hydrated.  Both Glen and I were really worried about him last night with his breathing and we set the alarm so that we could wake up to check on him.  The doctors say that it will be a while before he start to really get to feeling back to his normal self.  I glad that I am done with classes.  I just want to be home taking care of little guy.

thanks for the update! I hope he starts feeling better and that the swelling goes down. although no surgery is fun, I have heard that its really easy to recover from your tonsils being taken out while you are a kid, but not so much for an adult. So if it comes to that he should recover really quick. Call us if you need anything!
