Tonsil-Less Taylor...

Yay! Taylor has NO MORE TONSILS:) I have to say that she is braver than me. She went into surgery like a champ. That "happy" medicine they gave her really worked - she was so loopy. It was funny! Chad and I thought it would only be fair if we got some too:) We arrived at the surgery center around 8:30 and we were home by 12:30. The surgery itself was fast. They rolled her back at 9:45 and by 10:15 Dr. Scolaro was telling us how great she did. He said her tonsils were chronically infected with yellow pits in them. Yikes:( When Taylor woke up she was surrounded by all her family. She was shaking and a little teary. She kept saying "Daddy, I want you". She was hurting pretty bad so the nurse gave her some pain medicine. Once it took effect she went back to sleep and got a good nap. Averi was so sweet. She went with Granna until we got settled at home. But she wanted to be with her sissy. She told Taylor "I was big worried about you. I felt so sorry for you."
Yesterday was a long day. All five of us slept the whole afternoon. Taylor was in quite a bit of pain, but ate pretty good. She was hungry and frustrated she couldn't swallow faster. This morning she woke up crying because her throat was so sore. Today she mostly laid around and got some much needed rest. Hopefully it is downhill from here on out. Thank you to everyone who said a prayer for her!

I'm glad the "srgry" went well. Hopefully that will take care of those nagging sicknesses. Sent her birthday card out today. See ya'll in a few weeks.

After having 12 cases of Strep in a year, Ashton had her tonsils out last November. and after a couple of days of a bad sore throat she was as good as new! She hasn't been sick even once since then. It's amazing how fast and easy the surgery is. I'm glad all went well!

She is such a brave little girl--walking right in on her own!
