Whoops, Regina's in there again

[Guest guest]

Hi all. Just thought I'd let you know they readmitted Regina today. She

had a fever, chills and vomiting over night. Took her to the doc this

morning and he put her back on antibiotics and told us to call

immediately if there was any change in her. Said her throat was a little

red, but not bad and that her chest seemed a little congested. I took

her home and three hours later she couldn't breathe. Rushed her to the

ER, her throat was almost completely closed from the tonsil swelling.

Gave her a bunch of stuff, not sure what, but it seemed to help with the

breathing. She works for a really good ENT and he is a dear friend and

he was just coming out of the OR when they paged him. I feel better

knowing he's taking care of her. She is so run down they're concerned

about pneumonia and this is her 7th case of tonsillitis this year. Doc

feels that she is much too weak to have a tonsillectomy and said that if

she does have one down the line that he will probably admit her for a

week or two with a feeding tube because he won't know how long it will

be before she will be able to eat or drink enough to maintain herself.

She seems to dehydrate very quickly.

Regina was wondering if any of you have had your tonsils out since your

WLS.

Well, thought I'd let you know what's going on.

Thanks,

Tim
