Tonsillectomy day 4

I am thankful to say today has been a much better day for Paige.  We made it home from the hospital Satuday afternoon and I was able to give her a good bath.  She was very sore and tired and mostly just laid around the rest of the day.  I set my alarm for every hour Saturday night.  Yes, I was just a little paranoid!  Lol.   She had a pretty peaceful night all things considered.  Sunday she was feeling pretty rotten.  She slept until about noon and then barely moved the rest of the day.  I was able to get some food into her finally and I think that helped in a big way.  Sunday night was even better and today she has been more herself.  I can't lie I am super paranoid she will have another bleed.  To say I was a little traumatized is an understatement.  The doctor said the risk was highest during days 3-5.  Ugh!  Now that she is feeling better the real issue will be restricting her activity until we have our follow up in a week.  Tomorrow Caden will be back from his grandparents and that will make it even harder to keep her down.  We have been blessed with lots of praying friends and Paige has had several visitors bringing gifts.  Oh, and no more snoring!  I also noticed she now sleeps with her mouth closed.  At least I can say all of this will have been worth it  We are ready to put this whole ordeal behind us and have some fun this summer!

I forgot something else!  Since it was an emergency situation they pulled one of her loose teeth while she was put under again Saturday.  They put her tiny tooth into a specimen cup and she thought that was pretty cool.  Lol. So we also had a visit from the tooth fairy!
