11:00 PM: As mentioned, the surgeries were not insignificant. One of the effects of an invasive surgery can be excessive mucus, which our bodies create when it's trying to protect itself. Sleep was evasive on Thursday night as Madison had a lot of mucus which she manually suctions out with a machine. When horizontal, mucus seems very much excessive but when she is vertical, it seems significantly less. Friday night it got much worse.
We called our providers 24 hour nurse and based upon answering their questions, the nurse recommended going to ER (since urgent care isn't available nights). We're here now and suspect all of the activity has dehydrated her to some extent.
Next steps: Chest x-ray, blood tests and perhaps a nebulizer treatment (medicine with a humidifier), and she's already receiving fluids.
