And then there were none

We took the kids to the dentist a while back.  He said Gracie needed her tonsils out because her teeth did not have enough room.  Since Gid and Hal are always getting sore throats and snore we decided to have them all checked and they all needed their tonsils removed.  We decided to get them done all at once.  A picture of Gid and Grace in their lovely hats and gowns. 

Hal just chilling before surgery.  She went first.  It was a rough half hour after surgery but after that the girl never stopped.  We had to tell her to stop running around when we got home.  She never whined or cried or anything.  She did however take full advantage of the popsicles and ice cream.  She is a wonder. 

Grace after surgery.  It again was rough so we called in reinforcements.  Tricia came and played with Hal while we were dealing with Gid and Grace who had a much harder recovery.  Grace cried quite a bit then fell asleep on her Dad.  She did not recover as quickly as Hal.  She refused to eat or drink much which I think is why she had such a hard time. 

Hal hanging with Aunt Tricia.  She was such a sweet heart to drop everything at work and come and run down.  Thanks Tric!!!!

Then there was Gid.  The picture explains it all.  He puked a few times before leaving the hospital and had a hard time when we got home.  We did get through it though.  Mom came and kept Gabbi since we had to get up so early and be to Logan.  She stayed for a couple of days and played with the kids which they loved.  They were all back in school on Monday.  It is good we live so close to the school to run pain pills over when they were hurting. 

All done and on the road to recovery!  If we had to do it again we would do them all at once.  It was not even close to being as bad as everyone said.  They really did awesome!
