Lorelei is going into the hospital in the morning for surgery to remove her tonsils, which has been the cause of her frequent high fevers for the last couple of years. This is a routine procedure and usually people do not think much of it. We adults don’t think much of illnesses and problems that we have but when it comes to our children and grand children, that is another story. As the date for the surgery comes closer, I have felt more apprehensive, concerned and at times scared. Lorelei is such a precious young girl with a sweet spirit and I wish she didn’t have to go through this experience. I remember when I had my tonsils out at age six. I went into the hospital in the morning, and the next thing I remember is laying in bed in the recovery room. The nurse told me that I could not go home until I eat my ice cream. That is about all I remember. But one thing I do remember, it hurt to swallow and that is why they wanted me to eat ice cream – to get some nourishment at he same time numbing the throat and practicing swallowing. Lorelei takes everything in stride and I hope at this time that she will be protected and watched over by guarding angels and that the doctors will use every bit of their skills and knowledge while operating on her. I will be fasting for her to come through this with flying colors and that the recovery will be short and that finally the fevers will stop. Be brave for us Lorelei and we love you.
A good day

When Analee was four, she got the flu so bad that she couldn't stop throwing up. She even threw up water and she would throw up more than what she took in. She got dehydrated and had to be admitted to the hospital. I, of course, stayed with her through whole experience. She wasn't in terrible danger and I knew she would be alright but I felt anxious for her, anyway. She was so little. I know things will go well for your little one but I also know how you feel.
