Tomorrow Bronwyn has her tonsils out. I'm worried, as any parent would be. I'm going over every scenario in my head. I feel like all will be well...but still, I worry.
We packed an overnighter, with crayons, books and stuffed toys. It nearly broke my heart. She's excited about her "sleepover". Am I a totally bad parent for making this seem like a fun outing? Will she need therapy in the future because of me?
Don't answer that.
Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We will report back in a few days.

thanks for the nice comment. I wish you luck with your daughter. :)

My prayers, of course.
Not to worry: I had my tonsils removed twice.

Aloha Gill,
I was 10 when I went to hospital. My mum gave me a teddy with a tshirt and had all the docs and nurses sign it, they put ribbons and little mementoes on it..
It still makes me smile..
blessing to your little one..she'll be fine 'cause you're her guardian angel!
peace.Kai

Seeing your child in a hospital setting regardless of the reason is always scary. Try not to worry too much...she will be fine. You did the right thing by making it fun for her. She's too young to worry about such things. You are a great mom...the best.
Kisses and hugs to you and B!

How did the operation go?
Oh you're so sweet, you could never be a bad parent. You were definitely trying to make your child feel as comfortable as possible and that is good.
Your photos are so breathtaking!!
