When I was in Utah last month, I told everyone that Genna was having surgery this week. Well, she had her adnoids taken out on Tuesday and she was a trooper. She did everything the doctor said and came out of it as well as can be expected.
BUT…while recooperating, she got some sort of infection or virus. I rushed her to the hospital last night. We didn’t get home until almost midnight. They thought she had viral menigities. I haven’t had much sleep, so please excuse me if I can’t seem to spell anything today. Well the procedure that they had to do to find out that she didn’t have it was a spinal tap. They gave her four doses of morphine and she feel asleep in the middle of the procedure. If nobody has had one before, it is as bad as it sounds. I was with her the whole time.
She is home with grandaddy today. She still has a fever but she says she feels better. Keep your fingers crossed that my baby is on the mend.
No fun at all!
Ugh, a spinal tap is no fun at all. If I recall correctly, that’s what my friend Kevin had in high school that found out he had spinal meningitis, and apparently it sucked.
Tell her “get better fast” from her uncle Matt, OK?

uggghh
I have never had a spinal tap, but I can certainly sympathize, I cannot imagine what I would do if Angelina had to go thru all of that. My prayers are with you.

UPDATE
I just talked to my mom and Genna is feeling better. Genna told me that she felt GREAT and that she wanted to go to this festival this weekend. I told her that I would think about it. I think that is what got her through this ordeal. I told her if she took her medicine and didn’t fuss about it, she could go for an hour or two. I guess I have to keep my promise. Her back is sore but she sounds pretty good for what she went through.
All is well that ends well….
