The day that had to come~ Allie's surgery

Well it has been 4 days since Allie went in for her tonsils and adenoids to be removed. And I have to say I love this girl. She hardly has even complained. The mornings are the hardest. Mostly because the medicine has worn off and her mouth is extra dry from sleeping. Once we get the pain medicine down (witch is the hardest part, because it has codeine in it and it burns her throat) she is her old little self, just not as active. As tired as she is from eating ice cream and popsicles she is being a trooper and still doing it. She was able to get a break on Sunday and go to her grandma and grandpa's house. She was so excited because they let her help decorate the christmas tree.

The day of the surgery she was so big. Extra thanks to Grandma for being there and keeping her distracted until they wheeled her back. The surgery took about 1 hour and then she was in recovery for 2 hours. After we got back home she pretty much slept the rest of the day. I have been hoping that she would want to keep taking naps but that has yet to happen. One good note is that she seems to be sleeping at night so much better now.

HUGE THANK YOU'S TO THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE

One side note Allie lost her first tooth last Thursday, the day before her surgery. She was so excited. You can see it missing in one of the pictures below.
