Can’t see her tonight

Doctor Jim Bob just called.  He did only pull one tonsil (the left) after all, but then he discovered and had to drain a retropharyngeal abscess as well.  (This, given the potential complications, could be a lot more frightening if not managed.)  He said she tolerated the surgery well, and he left her to stay in Recovery/ICU overnight, sedated and with a ventilator in her to prevent breathing distress while the tissues get over swelling from the surgical insult.  He dropped the call suddenly when the infectious-disease specialist whom he wanted to consult suddenly appeared on the scene, so I’ll have to find out the rest later.
