Hospital Trip

On Tuesday, Victoria went in for her big surgery (tonsil/adnoidectomy).  She was a Rockstar patient according to all of the nurses.  Papa actually believes them b/c she hardly complained afterward.  As you'll see, by 3pm, she felt well enough to eat a gargantuan meal including 2 pancakes, apple sauce, yogurt and apple juice.  She also ate her first 2 Popsicle of her life and watched more TV in one day than she usually does in a week...Papa was a sucker for her spoils!  Mama and Papa are very proud of her.

At shift change on Victoria's hospital floor, her attending nurse changed to a male and Victoria kept whining to Mama "No this man!".  Apparently, she was much more fond of the bilingual nurse she had during the day.

Unfortunately, reality began to set in during the overnight stay when Mama kept Victoria company.  As the strong pain meds wore off, V woke up crying and pointing to her mouth saying "Ow-wee"...poor thing.  Mama did a great job cuddling and comforting little Victoria through the night.

Back at home, Sissy (Caroline) was very happy to see her sister return.  The two girls have really become  such great little fans and buddies of each other, especially when they are apart.  During phone conversations (used loosely) they love to say "Hi Sissy" and "I love you" to each other.  It is very cute to hear.

We're all back at home now and keeping the meds flowing for little V. In the end, hopefully she'll get much better sleep..according to her sleep study, her sleep apnea was causing her to stop breathing 50+times/hour during her REM sleep- crazy!

A priceless pic of the 2 best friends.

C goofing w/ V

Victoria's pout face b/c she did not want to eat lunch.

V's signature open palm slide move.  Maybe a future  Yoga Girl.

Nonnie and Pop sent some new "Dorothy Shoes" as a get well gift for Victoria and her # 1 fan, Caroline.

Having not eaten in almost 24 hours, V finally rally'd and devoured a huge plate of pancakes, apple sauce  and yogurt.

V was not interested in popsicles at first, but  she finally gave it a try.  Voila! She concluded that they are actually quite tasty.
