Kelci's surgery


I know it's been almost a week since Kelci had her surgery, but never late than never. Kelci had surgery to remove those large pesky adenoids that were making her sound like she was stuffy all the time. The dr. also did a couple of other minor procedures as-well. Kelci did great, I was so happy that none of her anxiety took over and she was able to be so relaxed.


Everything went great as far as the surgery goes. It only took about an hour. She came out of the anthesia a little upset, but as soon as we were able to get to her bedside she was fine. We were so pleased how well she did before and after the whole thing. It really helped that she felt so much love and concern from her family. Auntie Stacey, Mema, and the girls came up to help watch the rest of the crew and were there to greet Kelci when she came home. Grandma and Grandpa Collins sent her get well flowers that brought a big smile to her face. But of course her biggest grin came when Daddy brought her a stuffed teddy bear after the surgery. She has healed up very quickly and only had to take some pain meds one time. As for the way she sounds when she talks, not so much as changed yet, mostly due to the fact that there is some swelling and drainage going on in her nose.

Oh! I hate to see kids in the hospital. She looks great in the school pictures... hopefully she's recovered now!
