Haylee got her tonsil out on the 10th. Eighty percent of her airway was being blocked by her tonsils and adnoids. No matter what time of day, she would breath like she was asleep and then had a hard time sleeping through the night. This is her just before surgery. She had no idea what was going to hit her. She was happy to have a new teddy bear and a lot of attention...
She managed to pull out a smile for this photo a few hours after surgery. She woke up from the surgery kicking and screamin that she didn't want to wake up. I can't say that I blame her. She was pretty miserable. They had to double dose her with morphine to get her to calm down. Thank heavens for drugs! We were given the option to stay overnight with her but decided to take her home per her request. . . that night I wish we had stayed in the hospital. She didn't want to swallow her medicine and woke up every three hours crying. I felt very helpless.
Here she is recovering at home and she managed another smile. She will barely drink and hasn't had one popsicle despite being so excited to be able to have as many as she wanted.
Fresh from the shower and ready to eat her first thing since Wednesday (it is Saturday)...good ol' Chicken Noodle Soup finally tempted her enough to want to choke it down. She did good and hopefully recovery only gets better from here. She is a little trooper and a tough kid. This is not fun but will be worth it.

Ben is ready to get his tonsils out now that he knows it means unlimited Popsicles. It sounds like a miserable experience. I am glad she's feeling better. Maybe you can get some rest now too.
I am so sorry that she had such a rough time. Thanks again for letting Ainsley come and play I am glad that made Haylee happy for the short time she was there. Thanks so much!!! We love you guys!
