although doing slightly better. Was puxing for the first two days, now am dehydrated with v. high fever. Well, I was. Fever has gone down a bit.
All I can say is I better be losing some weight with all this stuff I’m putting up with here.
There were lots of lovely new fanfic chapters to keep me busy, though. 
Ow. Head still hurts. Is v. difficult to type. More later.

Is that a typical reaction to having your tonsils removed? Have you checked with your doctor?

Hi Leslie,
We did check with the doctor about the fever. He was sure it was dehydration. The theory is that the type of surgery rarely results in an infection. Her inability to keep anything down, whether liquid or solid, is the cause of the dehydration.
So, he said to push fluids. We also administered an anti-nausea. The increased fluids, anti-nausea, and tylenol did the trick.
She actually came up to get a Lortab this morning before I left to work, and looked a bit more perky than before. I think the worse is over finally!
Bye,

Thanks Dave, I was worried she might’ve been having an allergic reation to something.
Hope you get better soon Emily!
