Pain in the neck!

Not thrilled to have her picture taken!
Her attempt to smile




Good riddance!! I took Emilee in this morning at about 8:00 for her tonsillectomy. Sounds fun, right? Here I am reassuring her that all will go well, while other children who are coming out of the anesthesia , are screaming and throwing up! At this point Emilee turns to me and says,"Mom, all of this is starting to make me nervous." I once again tell her everything will be fine...and sure enough, 2 hrs later she is done and doing very well. She had no pain and no nausea. I must say, this is going just as I had hoped, although I must give credit where credit is due. Delon gave her a blessing the night before, I am always grateful to have the priesthood in our home...what a privilege. So we are almost in the clear and I am sure she will handle things just fine. (She's a tough one!)

You will be so glad you did that!! And so will she! She will be much more healthy. Just keep those popcicles and slurpees coming and she will feel better before she knows it. Good luck - any advice call me I have gone through it three times!

I am so glad all went well. I would not smile either. Once you make it past the first 2-3 days your in the clear, sounds like she already is. Wat to go!
