Tonsils, Trooper, Time Out

Well, I have had a lot lately--so, this will be a brief post. Girl's camp was fantastic. All 10 teen-agers returned home safe, sound, tired, dirty, and happy--SUCCESS!! So did their fearless leader. It was a great experience. I went from that to catching up and getting ready for Karissa's big day today.
Karissa had her tonsils and adenoids removed this a.m. She also had chronic sinus congestion that hopefully the doctor was able to take care of. She was a trooper. It is hard to see children drugged and in pain, but this will be a good thing when she recovers.

She is doing fairly well this afternoon and even asked if she could have piece of bologna(?). Yea, not what I would request, but hey, if she eats something without it hurting--more power to her!! Sammi, the dog, is hoping she will share her bologna and is being polite not to jump on her and devour it!! :)
I will be back next week with projects to show(that I've actually completed) ideas I've discovered and a must-read book to share!! Just need a little time -out as I take care of Karissa. Until next week--take care all!!
Be Nice to People,
Julie

Awe Julie...she looks so little and helpless lying there on the sofa like that!
My Katie had her adnoids and tonsils out when she was 5 years old...The young ones always bounce back quickly!
Have a good night!

My son had his out too-the sooner they eat the better...I went out before surgery and bought all of these fun popsicles and he wanted food food--the hardest part for him was the meds- he hated them.

I wish you the best---Kids bounce back sooo easy..

Oh I hope your sweet little one will recover quickly. Poor thing...been there when I was really young and you know, I still remember it like it was yesterday. Your throat is really sore. And I have to agree with you, that is a different request. Normally kids like Popsicle or ice cream. She must of been real hungry. I hope for a speedy recovery.

Good Morning,
Hope Karissa is doing bettert today! I remember having the mumps so I think it would be just about the same as far as the pain level would be.

Oh dear--hope your little girl recovers quickly. I know she is just fine but I bet you will be happy when she is smiling and bouncing around all over! :) Have a great day--stop over for a visit soon.

So glad you had a great time at girls' camp. Sound fun but tiring. :)

Pour Karissa. She will be back to normal in no time. I had the same surgery when I was her age and it made a HUGE difference! The surgery seems so much easier these days then 25 years ago. :) See you next week!

I hope she's feeling better. I had mine out at 16 and I remember how much it hurt. I'm glad you made it back from girl's camp in one piece and happy. That's a bonus. One time I went it was so cold it broke a record that year.
