::tonsillectomy & adenoidectomy::

After a visit to the pediatrician for her kindergarten check-up, we learned that Chloe isn't sleeping well because of these...

...her huge tonsils!

So she had to have them (and her adenoids) out.

She got them out yesterday (monday).

on the way down to the hospital (does she look nervous to you??)

we had to wait here for a bit.

tried to play

then back to the "pre" surgery area to put on a gown and open a couple of gifties from Grandma and Papa Kitty

we got some matching bracelets :)

gettin' the "party hat" on

getting ready to go-I was fighting back tears.

(I told her to give me a thumbs up, and this was what I got)

off she goes (now I could cry-and I did)

after about an hour (was that all it was?), she was all done

tried to give me a smile

She did pretty well. The dr. said she did great in surgery. She woke up from anesthesia really happy, but then really wanted to go home and cried a lot. She's had a sore throat and she's swollen, so she talks a little funny, but doing well for the most part.

We want to thank everyone for their love and support. Chloe has really enjoyed the get-well gifts, and especially the balloons :) We are so lucky to have such loving, supportive family and friends.

A special thanks to Grandma Snowman and Jennie for babysitting the two little boys and getting up so early! And a special thanks to Grandma and Papa Kitty for coming to the hospital to be with us during her surgery.

We love you all.
