Late last night after church, we left Amarillo to go to Lubbock for Eisley's tube surgery. Like I had mentioned previously, Eisley had a fever all day, but we had been treating it with Tylenol and Motrin alternating, hoping to nip it in the bud. She continued with the fever all night. We didn't get to Lubbock until after midnight, and after a rough night's sleep (only like 5 hours before we had to get up again.) we headed to the hospital to check in at 6am. After taking Eisley's vitals and everything, it was finally decided by the dr and anesthesiologist that they could not do the surgery today due to Eisley's fever. (I guess its pretty risky to put a child so young under when they have a fever, even though the actual procedure only takes like 5 minutes. I guess it can make the lungs weak and even allow pneumonia to set in, even in such a short time.) Even though we wanted what was best and safest for Eisley, oh wow, we were seriously bummed. Not to mention how guilty I was feeling about making the drive to Lubbock even after my husband was second guessing it. I really was believing in full faith that she would wake up without a fever, but it just didn't work out that way.
Doesn't she look sad, scared, and not feeling so great. She totally knew something was up in this strange place. But at least Mickey Mouse Clubhouse was distracting her some.
