You all may remember that my big sister Keira had RSV in November of '05. Well she had to stay in the pediatric intensive care at the hospital for a couple days. Guess what? I got to stay there, too!
On February 5 I had to have surgery on my wee nose and while I recovered from the procedure, I stayed in the PICU just like my big sister! The nurses were really nice and they remembered Mummy and Daddy from Keira's visit. Mummy says I didn't have nearly as many boxes next to my bed as Keira did, but that's a good thing.
After the surgery I had to have 2 plastic tubes in my nose for 2 weeks to help everything heal properly. They are really uncomfortable, but I guess overall they're OK. Mummy had to use a really loud vacuum machine to clean out my nose every few hours. We both hated that, but I couldn't breathe through my nose without doing it so a necessary evil.
In the pictures you can tell my little bitty face is swollen from the surgery. It was no picnic I can tell you. Good news is it's done! My first nose job at 1 month old! lol
