Tonsilectomy

Sarah had her tonsils et al. removed this past Friday and boy did she do great! The doctor and nurses dubbed her the "Best Patient Ever" and said everything went very well.

After getting into her gown, she was given some "loopy" medicine and whisked away when that kicked in. She brought her blankie and Webkins, which they let her take into the operating room with her. All in all, it took about 15 minutes. She was crying when I went back there, but she was already eating a popcicle and drank some juice and asked me if they had operated yet. Heh. She calmed down and took a little nap.

The ride home was a little messy (note to self - give kids a barf bag BEFORE they barf), but we got all cleaned up and in the bed with cartoons on the boob tube. Daddy came home early to help out - hooray!

Her recovery so far has been super. She's been eating and drinking. Played a lot yesterday and hasn't complained of much pain except last night (ear hurting). The pain medicine makes her grumpy and, of course, spacy.

Special note to Angi - thanks :D You're the best!

Let's hope that this has taken care of the many cases of Strep and the snoring. Whew, can/could she snore! ;)
