Ok well the tonisllectomy went well. They got the tonsils and the adenoids and didn't go ahead with the tubes in her ears.

They kept her overnight because of her history with the apnea and with the anasthesia, they wanted to keep an eye on her for one night. We got back this morning.

She did awesome!!!! Thank you all so much for the prayers and well wishes! She really pulled through this beautifully. By last night she was up watching Spongebob and eating jello and drinking ice water. She did vomit twice becasue of the anasthesia so they gave her anti nausea and she pulled out of it.

The only time she really fussed bad, was when she thought I was turning off Spongebob after I told her we could watch it again. I was rewinding it, lol. The nurse came in all concerned, to find out that it was over the tv.

They did a cat scan on her ear because the Dr found a small growth behind her right ear drum. He got the report this morning but has not seen the scan himself. He doesn't sound too worried. There is a disorder, which I can't remember how to spell the name right now, that is congenital, where a small mass of skin cells grows in the ear and sometimes they remove it sometimes not. He sounds like he might consider it when we go in for her follow up.

My mom showed up yesterday. ....That was interesting.

Truthfully, I will talk more about that when I get my thoughts together and figure some stuff out.

I can sum it up with one sentance:

She called an elder and told him about the surgery and he said Well yeah, it's your granddaughter and you want to be there.

I get the impression she called for "permission".

I'm tired, and Turkey Day is two days away. So when I got back my mother in law watched Hannah and I took my younger daughter to the store to get a gobbler and some extras.

Now, I'm ready to make dinner and crash for the night.

I really appreciate you guys and your thoughts.

I think in some ways I got a lot of closure out of this with my family. I'll explain later. til then

thank you thank you thank you

Yeah, I am definitely relieved, glad it's over.

Last night, considering she'd just had the surgery, her breathing was a little better.

It's hard not to be anxious and nervous over surgery. I know that this would be probably classified minor surgery, but y'know, going "under" is always a little scary, and when it's your kid, it's way scarier.

Now, make sure you take care of yourself, too.

I will. Thank you for the reminder.

Thank You! I hope you and our other Turkey Feasters have a delicious day as well. filled with lots o' love.

I'm glad that everything worked out fine for you and your daughter.

Thank you Abandoned, and I hope your day is looking better for you!

This has happened in regards to my family, and is very healthy. In the end you have to accept the things that you can not change. Once you accept that your family will probably not leave, and that there will never be a great deal of commonality between you anymore then you can move on. When you move on, then the family will feel less threatened and be more likely to keep some lines of communication open. It is not ideal, but the best most can hope for.

I know that you are right. The closure Is healthy and I do have to accept that and yes this pretty much did it. Right now, after some of the stuff that I learned from this experience, I feel like the WTS won. They just won. The hardest thing, jw, was this look in her eye. Like I was just dead already. Like my death warrant was signed and they were filling the syringes (or getting my noose ready however you think it). This horrible sadness and this knowledge that it was for me. I knew then, that it wasn't going to change. There is not a thing I can say that will make them think. Maybe I've hoped even in the smallest bit, too much. But I hoped. When I saw her at the hospital, I hoped. I just have lost that today.
