Laurin's Surgery

Laurin's tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy went well yesterday. We checked in at Cook Children's around 7:10 (a little early) and everything stayed right on schedule. It was her first time in a hospital so finding out about all the "surgery" things was a little scary. But once she had some "giggle juice" in her, all was well. It took her a little longer than usual to come out of the anesthesia, but it was all fine. They had to remove a loose tooth and the tooth fairy visited her there at the hospital. When she woke up from surgery, she had a dollar:-) The quilt she made (Christmas gift from Linda) was the hit of the surgery floor. Everyone was so impressed.
Now she is home from school for 5-6 days and just resting and recuperating. Scrambled eggs and jello seem to be the food of choice.

Going home

Spring Break update

I guess since it is Spring Break, I should give a little update. Spring Break has been good. Can't believe it is already Thursday. Thankfully the weather has been decent. We are getting to spend more time with Lucy. Hopefully we will all make it through this puppy stage.
Laurin is getting her tonsils/adenoids out next Thursday. We tried to do it over Spring Break, but it was already booked. So the surgery is Thursday morning and then she will rest and recover the whole next week. Technically she could go back Thurs. April 1st, but there is no school on April 2nd so we'll take advantage of those few extra days to insure a complete recovery. Her teacher isn't too worried about her falling behind, so I guess this was a good time to do it.
Hope Spring has sprung for all of you. Maybe we'll have new pictures to post soon.
