Our 4 year old EB underwent soft palette surgery last week. I took her in because she was all of sudden wheezing. (something I had never heard before from her) So they recommended the soft palette surgery. The surgery went fine. We brought her home that night and 2 days later the mailman came to the door and she got excited and ran to her bed and couldn't breath. We drove like a maniac to the ER and they said her throat was badly swollen. They have had her sedated with a breathing tube. They just today took her off sedation and removed the tube and are monitoring her for 24 hours. Some of the swelling went down.
Long story but my question is has anyone had the SWELLING issue happen after soft palette surgery? I had read recover was quick and no problem.
