My sweet Cassidy

Before the surgery

So yesterday we did the surgery of the tonsils and adenoids. She did amazing. The Dr. got a really late start. We had to be there at 8:15 and she was scheduled for 9:30. But They took her back at 10:15 it is a 30 min deal then you have to stay in recovery for an hour. So we got home around noon. She sleep ed for about 1 1/2 hours then she was up for the day. She played the wii she read a book. For dinner she had 3 bowls of rice and hamburger. And I woke her up at 1:00 am to give her her Pain meds but she really did not want it so the rest of the night I let her sleep and in the morning at 9:00 she asked for some pain meds. So I think we are doing great. She is having a hard time talking today but all in all she is amazing. He are some pics. Love them.
This is what Mike and I saw as we walked into the recovery room Cassi curled up in a ball shivering pretty good. They had to get two warm blankets for he but all it took was to have dad put his warm hands on here to get her warm.
Then this is her trying to eat a pop sickle and not liken it. pour girl But this is the only time she cried. She was not all the way awake either.

This is the Nurse explaining to Cassi everything she is doing as she takes the IV out. Cassi is all about knowing how everything is done. She had a lot of questions for the Nurses and Dr's it was funny. Wanted to know if the mask was going to stay on the whole time and if it was how would they get to her tonsils. She is so cute.

Thanksgiving was AWESOME. We spent the day at my Mom's with my family. Now some of you know that all in all I have 15 Bros and sis with only one being my full bro all others are Half or step. but there was all my mom's children there all 6 (with Nathans spirit there.) And all the grand kids (10) with the oldest My son Taylor at 11 so lots of kids running and having so much fun with cousins.
My great sister-in-law brought some great crafts for the mom's to do we had fun doing that Thanks Monica
Oh yes and the food was AWESOME I was in charge of the Pies this year so I made 4 pumpkin and 1 Apple and 1 Raspberry and mm mm they were good. So here are a few pics of the Big Thanksgiving dinner.

Now as for Christmas my poor daughter Cassidy has to have tonsils and adenoids out on DEC 16 so this Christmas is going to be a hard one for her I think. But she gets to go with Mom on Monday to pick out the Ice cream and all the pop sickles she wants mm mm. I will post soon on how she is doing. Now back to reading your posts. he he
