Goodbye Tonsils

Lexi got her tonsils out on Friday and did great! She was so brave and didn't even cry when she was coming out of anesthesia. We had to be at the hospital by 6 a.m., so all of us were suffering from major bed head. Lexi was so excited for her surgery, but as it came closer you could tell she was getting a little nervous because she wouldn't sit on the hospital bed. She kept telling us she was ready to go home. The doctor said her adenoids were double the size of her tonsils, and her tonsils were considered large. She ate so good the next couple of days, so we're hoping she might put on a few pounds. Lexi had to stay in the hospital for 24 hours because of her age. That night her and I were laying in her hospital bed and she looked up at me and said "mommy we're hanging out." Then she said "mommy, I like books, I like puzzles, I like to throw rocks in the water, I like shows." It was so cute and then she fell asleep. About four that morning the nurse came in to give Lexi her medicine, then the nurse asked Lexi if she needed anything. Lexi said "yes, I want some food." The nurse just started laughing. The nurses kept asking me if Lexi was always so happy.

Trey couldn't wait to see his sister again, or maybe it was the sippy he tries to steal everytime he is near Lexi.
