Leah had her tonsils and adenoids removed earlier this week and she did a great job. She had a bit of a hard time waking up from anesthesia, but what kid doesn't. The surgery only took a few minutes and we were able to go back to see her right away. I climbed into the bed with her and just held her for 20 minutes while she cried. Once she calmed down we got to take her home.
I think Leah has a high pain tolerance, she dealt with the pain really well. She did not want to take medicine and instead when it hurt she would just go to sleep. Day 3 and 4 were suppose to be the worst and Leah pretty much just slept all day and night. The hardest part for her is not being able to eat "the hard 'fings'!" (chips and crackers) She just keeps asking if we can take her back and have the doctor put her tonsils back in. overall she has done great!
