Tonsils

My youngest has needed her tonsils out for many reasons-snoring, teeth, mouth breathing, sore throats, etc. Finally I took her in since the symptoms were getting worse. Within one week she had her tonsils out.
Day 3 of recovery and she is doing GREAT! The doctor said she'd have a rough first 2 days and, especially day 2 and she has done amazingly well. She is eating and drinking like she's supposed to. We haven't had any problems and she is smiling and playing. This is a great blessing, especially since she is so small for her age. It is dangerous for her to get dehydrated and we have experienced no threat!
Before her surgery, her dad gave her a blessing and said she would recover well and us as parents would know how to take care of her.
I know the priesthood blesses our lives directly through my husband from the Lord. I know Heavenly Father cares about our daughter specifically (and our other kids too) to help guide and direct us to take care of her and help her heal quickly. I know He has given her comfort to get through this hard experience.
My son got horribly sick right after his sisters' surgery. He was out of school for almost 2 weeks. We took care of him too at the same time and we know the Lord was watching over all of us to meet each need when needed.
