Prayers Answered

Reagan had her new set of tubes put in, tonsils and adenoids taken out this past Friday. We wanted to ensure plenty of recovery time before school started and the Dr. didn't want us to wait until Christmas break. I'm so relieved it's over! 

Reagan was such a champ from the moment she woke up, even through the surgery and after care. She didn't cry once, not even when they took out the IV.  The actual surgery only lasted about 20 minutes but we were in the recovery room for almost 3 hours. 

Recovery at home has been a little on the rough side. She's in pain, which I hate seeing her like that. She doesn't have much of an appetite for ice cream or Popsicles and really really really hates the taste of her meds so we're trying as best as we can.  Her Aunt B gave us a tip to add a touch of sugar and that does seem to help!  They told us the first couple days will be hard so hoping after today she'll be her old happy self again.

The hardest part will be no outside play for 2 weeks and only soft foods... didn't realize how much she liked crunchy food until she couldn't have it! But we're hanging in there-Thanks for all the prayers, they worked!
