Annistyn's Surgery









Lets see if you can tell which picture were taken before surgery and after lol! YAY! is all I can say. We finally got Anni's tonsils out. She had strep about 6 times last year and could barely talk because they were so big. I guess the doctor scores the size from 1 to a 4 and hers were a 3. She was also snoring like an old grandpa =) it was just time. She did so great. We were a little worried because 2 days before surgery she woke up with a fever ( of all times) they said they wouldn't do it unless the fever was gone. We took her into the doctor to find out if it was strep again and it was just some virus. John gave her a blessing and the morning of the surgery she was fever free...what a relief. She did amazing before the surgery and was such a brave little girl. After the surgery was a different story. The surgery only lasted about 20 minutes. John and I were shocked at how fast they came to get us. She came back with a seal like cough ( it sounded so nasty and painful...poor girl) We had to stay a couple extra hours to make sure she was okay. She didn't handle the medicine well and threw up a few times. We felt so bad for her. It was a long 2 weeks of recovery. She would wake up at least 3 times a night screaming in pain. It was a FULL 14 days before she was better. We are so grateful for the doctors and nurses that took such great care of her, those nurses include daddy and grandma =) so luck to have them.
