Oh man, I remember my daughter having tonsil removal surgery. It is with these procedures that, as a parent, you'd rather swap places, if that were possible.
It is an honest direct question, that she asked, but surely one you do not want to think about. Especially if you think in vivid imagery right away...
Standard procedures, those operations, but it is nice when they are finally set and done.
It'll be alright, good healing for the little lady!
You are damned right you would rather take the hit for them. She seems to be coping quite well. Bit quiet but to be expected. I managed to blag a compassionate leave day off work so I am happy :OD
