Man Down!

A little late in posting this and Ella is going to kill me when she sees the pictures.  So Max had his tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy in October. Ella was scheduled for sinus surgery in December.  Ella had a deviated septum and she had bones growing into her airways.  They are called conchubalosas.  Which sounded like cancer to me, disasteress that I am, so I was VERY happy to hear they were just bones.  Which...is just "unlucky" for Ella.  Poor thing.  She was a total ROCK STAR.  She went through surgery (although it was an hour LONGER than they said it would be).  We went home and I gave her one dose of crazy pain meds.  After that, she insisted she wasn't in pain.  Tough girl recovered with no meds.  She tried to go back to school on Thursday but ended up throwing up from swallowing so much blood.  So we ended up home one more day.  She was more uncomfortable than anything else because of the plastic tubing in her nose to keep her septum in order.  Girlfriend got her plastic out on Tuesday and was a new woman.  She gets debreided on Monday and then we should be done!  WooHoo....Here are the latest and greatest gross nose pictures....
