Hi Kaboose

I would expect her to be tired after his procedure. Does she actually have a fever? If she does, you need to call her doctor tonight. He may want her back to the hospital to find out what is going on. If she has an infection, it could be very serious right now.

Please actually take her temp, and call the doctor just to be on the safe side.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Kerry

No, I don't think any of this is normal. Give her doctor a call. If she won't listen to you, perhaps she will listen to him?

Hope that helps,

Kerry
