Emily went to Primary Children's to have her tonsils removed today. We were told that her tonsils were quite large and that it may be affecting her sleep and breathing. I felt so bad because she was so excited about it, with a slight hint of nerves, she didn't know how much it would hurt.
We got there a little early so she had about an hour to play a Dora Playstation game. Then we sent her off with the anesthesiologist. Twenty minutes later a nurse came in calling for "Mom of Emily and blanket." I smiled and grabbed her blanket and princess pillow and went to see her.
When I got there she was crying in pain and grabbed her blanket very quickly. She didn't know that the surgery would hurt so bad, but you can't tell them that beforehand or they won't cooperate. She asked when they were going to be done. (She didn't realize that they had already removed them.) When I told her that they were done she asked when it had happened. I told her they had done it while she was asleep.
She did very well and the nurse said that she was actually looking really good for the short amount of time she had been done. That was encouraging. We left the hospital an hour and a half after her surgery was complete.

Hope you feel better soon Emily!
Yes. Feel better soon. It is always the hardest thing to let them take your baby away and hope they bring them back. Glad you all survived. Lincoln saw the pictures in the hospital and felt so bad for her. He says sorry she was hurt. :) Lots of Popsicles and rest. :) Good luck
