Step by step...day by day...

Sorry I haven't updated since Sydney's surgery but it has been a couple of hectic days. Sydney is doing GREAT....She is in a lot of pain still but that is to be expected! I am sooo proud of how she's done. Only a few melt downs =) Today is the first day she's really eat anything (yogurt, pudding, grits, oatmeal) She is still only eating a little ("maybe" half of a yogurt) at a time but it's a HUGE improvement from just a teaspoon or two. I'll try to upload the video from right before her surgery. She had already been given some medicine so she was pretty loopy. Here are some pictures of her surgery. The nurses were AMAZING to her and us. They even took out "bitty's" tonsils and adnoids. Bitty came out with a bandaid too! The pictures are in the wrong order.... Sorry. I'll do better next time.

Trevor and Trent were so sweet. They both prayed for her before her surgery. I LOVE those boys. =)


This is after she came back from surgery - she's OUT!
(they had to give her Demoral b/c she was fighting them and pretty upset)
The pad they had put on her bed to protect her. She must have been pretty upset...


Right before going in the OR.


The meds starting to take place...She was being sooo SILLY!

Sydney when we got into her room. She thought those booties/socks were funny.


She was so sweet. The lady who checked us in asked her if she was my little girl and she said "no, I'm mommies little princess". Talk about melting my heart.
Thank you GOD for answering my prayers. I prayed for a daughter JUST like Sydney.

Can my nerves handle this???

Nervous.......

Sydney is having her tonsils and adnoids taking out in the morning. I'm nervous.....and slightly scared. Why? I'm not sure. The doctor is AMAZING but she is my little princess. And she's being put to sleep. Surgery just makes me nervous. None of us have ever had to have ANY surgeries but a least its something minor. BUT hopefully this will mean NO MORE STREP!!!!! That would make us BOTH very happy! I have a feeling that the next few days are going to be a little hard. Esp. for Sydney. Love and patience and ICECREAM will hopefully do the trick. ;)

I'll update as the day goes on as to how she is.
