Anyka remains hospitalized after having some pain and breathing trouble related to the swelling in the back of her throat. After arguing with the PICU docs, we managed to get her some pain meds (they were giving her TYLENOL!) and so she could rest better. we will see what the next few days bring.

Anyka is having surgery today to repair (again) her cleft palate. She is expected to be out by noon and home tomorrow afternoon. Dr. Wang and Dr. Garza are performing the surgery, with Dr. Olomu doing the anesthesia. We're very fortunate, since Dr. Olomu is no longer scheduling other than heart patients - he agreed to come in on his day off for her procedure!
