Oh my Little E

So surgery came and went.  Do you want to know the two hardest moments...

1. Watching Scott hand over our Little E to the nurse in scrubs and mask on her face and hearing her scream all the way back until they were able to put a mask on her face to put her to sleep.  Knowing how scared the little munchkin was and not being able to do a thing about it.

2.  Seeing a sleepy, out of it little girl who was just a little swollen and a touch of blood on her face be brought back to our room after her surgery.  So vulnerable so helpless.





Honestly, I think we needed to experience this so that we could prepare ourselves for Baby Girl's much more intense, risky and scary surgery in a few weeks. 

My faith is being stretched and my heart feels like it might rip sometimes...  I know its just being taught how to trust in Heavenly Father and His plan.  My babies are his babies.  He loves them more than I do.  He will do what needs to be done.  He will protect them the way they need to be protected. 

P.S. 
Little E did great.  She had a few moments of not wanting ice cream, popsicles or pudding and only want SALAD.  She was down for a few days but after switching her medicine to tylenol/motrin from the narcotic she was right back to herself.  Now she sounds a little bit like a really loud cartoon character.  The Dr. said she won the largest tonsils/adenoids of the day.
