They did have to cut a nerve and her muscle but where able to stitch it all back together. If all goes well she should have about 90% function from that muscle still which means she will still have facial expressions on that side of her face. 100% of the mass was taken out, tho when they started to remove it, it burst open. They were able to get the rest out and do clean up. The scar is slightly bigger because the mass was slightly bigger than they exected.
The mass is being sent off to lab for tests and we should have those results Friday or Monday.
She spiked a fever 100.8 and said we need to keep an eye out for infection. She began breathing on her own about 10-15 minutes after being taken off anesthesia.
They noticed she had raspy, rough breathing before she went under and after. Checked it out and she has tonsils the size of an adult. Its not swelling either they are just massive and she is TINY. [2 yrs old 20.5 lbs] So another surgery is in her future.
Right now: She has eaten lunch and a few cookies and some sprite and tons of water. She is still loopy and will be since her pain meds make her loopy also. Its kinda like have a drunk toddler. She can hardly walk with out stumbling, has slurred speech and glassy eyes. Its pretty adorable actually!
