Well, Tessa got it, and then some. Adenoids were removed, too...BONUS! (Sometimes I wonder why God made us with all these extra parts that, evidently, we can live without.)
Back to topic, Tessa is recovering well after her surgery on Dec. 28. I accompanied her to the OR, where the nurses had chosen Disney princesses to display on all the screens. (Because Disney princesses make everything better.) Tessa was too scared to notice them. It took the anesthesiologist, two nurses and myself to hold her down. But, most important, the surgery itself went well, and we made the best of the overnight hospital stay.
Today was Tessa's first day back at the Y, and all the kids were excited to see her. She'll be done with the amoxicillin after tomorrow, and hopefully the pain medication soon. (Don't tell her I told you this, but the plethora of bacteria makes her breath smell like dog food.)

| No, she didn't vote in an Iraqi election. Back at home, she finger painted with the set she received as a get-well gift from Matt, Natalie & John. Thank you! |
