Tonsils

Christmas break proved to be a good time to have Elliana's tonsils removed.  She has had lots of sore throats and has had large tonsils.  We thought about having her tonsils removed years ago, but she did not weigh enough for the doctor to recommend surgery.  Recently, Elli had some sore throats that required her to get off of her arthritis medicines.  Since she had to be off of the medications in order to have surgery, we realized it would be a great time to have her tonsils removed.  She did really well with her surgery on Friday.  She has had a bit rougher time the last few days, but has truly enjoyed all of the ice pops and ice cream that she has been allowed to eat.  Hopefully we will be saying "goodbye" to so many sore throats.
