tonsils out

Yesterday was a big day for Jennifer. We were up bright and early to be out the door because Jennifer was getting her tonsils out. If she was nervous she did not show it, she did amazing! Although it was kind of hard to explain to her what was going to happen. We told her that she was going to the doctor so he could make her throat feel better, for her that explanation was good enough.
Here she is waiting for them to come get her. Once they were ready she walked back to the room all by herself, what a big girl! They said she climbed up on the table and held the mask to put her to sleep, talking the whole time of course.
Watching a little tv while we wait, that always makes the time go by faster.
Jennifer had kind of a hard time waking up once everything was done, seriously it didn't even take a half hour, it was very fast, I think we gone from our house a total of three hours. I don't think Mikayla knew what to think of Jennifer when we got home.
It was very sweet though, Mikayla pulled herself up to the couch and started patting Jennifer, she was making sure her big sister was ok. Melted my heart.


While Jennifer was resting here is what Mikayla was doing, getting into trouble! This past week she has started pulling herself up to everything, which is very exciting to watch. However this includes getting into a lot more stuff.


Jennifer is doing well today. As well as can be expected. She has had a few tears, wants to eat a few things that she can't and really doesn't want to take the medicine she is suppose to but that is all small stuff and she really is a pretty tough girl. We know there may be a few rough days ahead but today was good so we will take that for now.

Poor girl! We were thinking about her this weekend, hoping that she is feeling a bit better now. Love the pic of Mikayla in the drawer! Give the girls kisses for us!
