Havyn's Tonsils

Remember this?

Well I sure do, and that is precisely why knowing that Havyn had giant tonsils worried me. We put off getting them out, waiting for her to get older and stronger, but the surgery was needed sooner than I ever wanted it to be. The Dr. asked me if I was ready, and I said I wouldn't be ready if she was 15. Before surgery she was super happy, and had no idea what was coming.

 She has been through so much in her short little life, but she is strong as ever! She continues to amaze me. I had all these ideas of how she would be after they got her tonsils out and she woke up, and she has been such a trooper! She struggled with the anesthesia and waking up. She was a MAD little girl, and confused beyond belief, but calmed down soon after they let us see her and she got mommy.

Later she was wanting to run around, and being her normal full of attitude self. She even ate french fries and a kit kat. I had bought her all kinds of soft cold foods for when she came home and so far she could care less. She hasn't even complained about her throat. She was supposed to stay a night in the hospital because of her age, but shocked her Dr. with how much she had drank  behavior that he sent her home later that night. We were so ready because she had been crying all afternoon about wanting to go home, and the only thing we could do to make her stop was pull her around in a wagon. We sure made the rounds in the peds unit!

She got plenty of cuddle time being alone with mom and dad, and I think she enjoyed every bit of it!

One rare moment where she is actually laying in her hospital bed. I think she napped for  about an hour.
