The Morton Family Blog

Thanks for taking time and stopping by and reading our family blog. As a family of 6 we are busy and hope to encourge everyone to understand that everyone is different in his or her own way and that people shouldn't be looked at for their size but for their selves. Our youngest daughter Jalinn was born with dwarfism and we hope to raise awareness for the Little People community.

Time for the adenoids to come out Part 1

When we got Jalinn's sleep study back a few months ago we discussed with her sleep doctor and her ENT doctor on what would be the best plan of action for Jalinn.  We concluded that taking out her adenoids would be the best option for right now since she has the middle sleep apnea and the asthma.  They are hoping with the adenoids gone she will be able to breathe alot better.  We also had to see an eye doctor since her eyes kept tearing up all the time and they concluded that she needed to have stints place in her tear ducts.  We were Lucky that both the ENT and eye doctor could do the surgery at the same time. 

Yesterday was the surgery, we had to be at Children's Mercy Hospital at 1pm which for a long day but I think Jalinn knew something was going on.  She woke at 5:30am and was ready to eat.  She couldn't have any solids after 7am so I made her breakfast around 6am and she had 5 pancakes and 3 slices of pears.  She just kept eating and eating.  Once we arrived we was able to play for about 2 hours since they were delayed for an hour.  They needed to make sure they had a PICU bed ready for her after the surgery since we were staying the night just to be on the safe side.  Here are a few pics of her playing before surgery.





Here is a video of her playing and dancing
