The Life Cycle of a Tonsilectomy

 

 

 Step 1:  Wake up at the crack of dawn because you are excited?????

 

Step 2:  Arrive to see your sweet teacher with a happy for you!!! Everyone is telling you that you are going to get to blow up a balloon and eat ice cream

 

Step 3:   Wake up with your ears pierced!!!!

And then the crash hits and the only way Mommy can get you to rest is in the stroller. 
Nothing tastes good and you feel terrible
 Step 4:  Get home with steroids still in your body and eat popcicles and have sweet friends bring you balloons and treats

And when you perk the least little bit, you get to go get milkshakes and make up to last a life time!!!

 

 

But from this mommy, I have to say, this is torture to watch your baby suffer.  I know this is a routine surgery, so let's count our blessings today because many mommies and daddies watch their kiddos suffer for each breath.
