Goodbye Tonsils

Yesterday morning Haley said goodbye to her tonsils, and she was a champ!  Auntie Laura spent the night the night before, so she could be at home with Seth and Abby (until Abby got picked up by a neighbor to go to school) while Carey and I were with Haley.

The staff at Central Coast Surgery Center were SO KIND.  What nice, welcoming people:)  They helped Haley get all ready in the pre-op room, then wheeled her off to surgery.  I felt like Carey and I had hardly sat down in the waiting room when one of the nurses came out to tell us that she was already asleep!  A half an hour later the doctor came out and told us the surgery was done and had gone perfectly.  About 15 minutes later they took us back to see her in the recovery room.  Now, this time, after having almost passed out in the recovery room when Abby had her surgery, I made sure to ask for a chair and sit down right away.  I don't know what it is that makes me feel so faint.  I guess just seeing my sweet daughter so out of it as she was coming off the anesthesia.  Anyway, Haley did a really good job and was quickly asking to go home. 

Her recovery has been really easy so far.  She's been a good little patient, drinking lots of fluid and taking all her medicine.  Oh, and enjoying lots of ice cream and popsicles!  Praise God for a successful surgery!

All ready to go off to surgery, with two of the sweetest nurses ever!
Ready to go home:)
The best part of getting her tonsils out; chocolate ice cream and movies!
