Libby's Surgery

After numerous strep throat infections, it was finally time for Libby to get her tonsils and adenoids out! No more missing school! No more throat cultures! No more snoring! I really can't explain how excited Libby was to be rid of them! To celebrate this special occasion I let Libby pick out some new jammies to wear to the hospital. She pick Hannah Montana of course! She was a little disappointed when they made her change into hospital scrubs!

Here is my brave little girl

all dressed up for the

special occasion!

Look at her...

Minutes before they wheel her off and

she's all smiles!

She thinks she looks like a doctor!

One last look at those tonsils!

Bye-Bye tonsils!

Here is Libby in recovery. They don't waste a minute getting those popsicles!

The nurse said Libby didn't even cry when she woke up.

Such a sweet little girl.

Here she is taking a nap after getting settled into her room.

She even got to watch Hannah Montana, when she was awake!

Here she is all recovered! She's been to the bathroom, walked around, and even ate some applesauce! She's ready to go home!

This is Libby at home. I think we were home five minutes before she started asking for her push-ups! I thought once we got home she would start feeling worse, but she did really well. She ate ice cream and drank apple juice and water without me having to remind her!

Notice the choice of three beverages on her table! She also got a new pillow from Tara, which was waiting for her when Libby got home, along with some new pet shop toys and balloons! Libby says the pillow is perfect for her on the couch!

Notice the expression on her face...

She all the sudden became sensitive to the flash on my camera!

Libby's daddy brought one of the puppies over to see her. This one is Nana Two. Libby thought I wanted a picture of her throat, thus the half opened mouth!

She really was smiling and having fun playing with the puppy until I busted out the camera!

Now we are on the second day post surgery. I thought she might wake up in pain sometime through the night, but she didn't. She's been doing well enough that I switched her over to regular Tylenol and ditched the Tylenol with codeine. Which according to Libby tastes bad, but the one at the hospital didn't!

Libby has had enough of the relaxing and watching movies. She was getting stir crazy today, so I told her we would go somewhere. She wanted to go shopping to spend her birthday money. She picked out three barbies and a new outfit. She's a good little shopper! She gets it from her mama!

Finally, after a busy day, she is asleep on the couch! My little Sleeping Beauty!
