Surgery is over!!

Sydney is out of surgery and has done very well for day 1. Children have a hard time when they are coming out of anesthesia, they cry and scream uncontrollably and depending on their surgery, this can make things worse. Sydney did not have this problem too severely. She would wake up and cry and we were able to calm her quickly. If she had been screaming and crying uncontrollably, like the poor little tike next door in the recovery room, this could have really been a problem for her. She slept the anesthesia off and woke up thirsty and did such a good job of drinking Sprite (you know those little cans --she drank 1 and a half of those in about an hour) and ate a popsicle. Then when it was time to go home she wanted something to eat and what did she want to eat??? "Chips", yes you heard me right Chips---Chips?? Ok the doctor said she could eat anything she wanted --but CHIPS?? Ok, Daddy and I couldn't go there but we could go to the McDonald's next door to TC Thompson's and get Fries---not only did she want the fries she wanted chicken nuggets, too. "Ok" we thought that won't be the first dollar wasted in our life, but just in case she WOULD/COULD eat them we would have them. And, YES she ate them. She ate all 4 nuggets and a whole order of fries. When we got home she at ice cream, peanut butter crackers, sherbert, pancakes, and has drank plenty of juice. Tomorrow may be a different story---maybe even a different book!! But, I just want to give God the praise for always being in control and taking care of our little girl! The Dr. was telling us how bad infected her adenoids were---and this is after being on 2 different and very potent antibiotics in the past month they were still full of puss but God is so good in seeing to it that she was able to get in to have surgery and have this taken care of within 5 days of her initial appointment. Please keep her in your prayers and praise God with us!

Glad to hear she is doing well!!! Chips are exactly what Lori requested when she was 3yo and had her tonsils out. Isn't that funny??
