Surgery...

Addi Kate had her first surgery the beginning of April. She had her tonsils and adenoids removed and tubes put in her ears. She had been consistently sick for months and after the ENT took a look at her HUGE tonsils, it was obvious what we needed to do.

So we scheduled the procedure and it was actually a LOT better than what we had expected. I honestly think it was harder on us, the parents, than on Addison. 

The procedure started out with Addi receiving a little pre-medication. And you can tell by this picture that she was feeling quite a bit loopy :)

The entire surgery took all of 20 minutes...thank goodness! After the anesthesia wore off, you would never have known this littler girl had just been in surgery! 

 That afternoon our little girl had several guests come to the hospital for a visit. Jilly and Pops came by with some markers, a coloring book, and a Hello Kitty lunchbox.

D-ma visited and brought her some flashcards, markers, and a balloon...this girl loves to color and she loves balloons!!!

 But I would have to say that her Cousin Mikey was probably her favorite visitor. They played with the balloons, colored, and took a ride on the hospital bus.

We are so thankful that Addi Kate had this surgery and did so well. She could immediately hear better and her voice and words became so much clearer. 

Now for the fun part...ICE CREAM!!!
