Bailee's Surgery

Bailee had a tonsillectomy today, Oct. 18.  She was extremely nervous and was quite upset right before she went to the operating room.  She was still happy and doing well in the this photo.  The staff at the hospital was so nice and helpful, I'm very grateful for that.

The surgery went very well.  I went back in the post-op room with her and waited for her to wake up.  She was in a deep sleep and kept making little moans, it was cute.  I stroked her cheek with my cold fingers, it was chilly in there, then she opened her eyes.  She wanted to go home right away.  She's saying "Home" in this photo.

They brought her back into the other room to observe her for an hour before we were released to go.  In this photo they're taking the bandages and IV off of her.  She was very antsy to get all of it off, I don't blame her, I feel the same way when I'm in the hospital.  Some of the tape was so sticky, it hurt her little hand and took off a tiny bit of skin, ugh!

Bailee loved the blue slushy the nurse gave her.  It was pretty delicious!  It helped to distract her and hydrated her too.  She was watching Dora or Deigo in this photo. 
 
Bailee is having an awesome recovery, I'm so relieved!  She was upset in this photo because she wanted to play with my old train set and I told her she should wait until the next day.

We got her the flowers on the right and Jill got her the cute little witch flowers.  It's so fun getting deliveries!

Grandma and Grandpa Litton got her this super cute and soft doggie.  She named it Sparkles.  The cute fairy wings and crown are from Aunt Jaime and her family.  They got her some big Blow Pops too.  Thanks everyone!
