“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth”
If you’ve read last week’s post, you might understand that I’m not really in the mood to write at the moment, but I thought I’d pop on to tell you how incredibly proud I am of Amy. She’s finally had her surgery last Wednesday and she was an absolute trooper.
The sedative that Amy got before the actual anaesthetic was horrific as it made her really emotional and confused, but luckily, she can’t remember a thing and is back to her happy self. In fact, she was pretty much back to normal as soon as we got back to our room. So much so that I caught her doing a headstand when I came back from the toilet. She’s crazy like that!
Forward three days and she was bouncing off the ceiling because she couldn’t wait to go to her best friend’s Pippi Longstocking-themed birthday. Of course, Amy insisted going in costume and if I’m being honest, I can’t imagine her ever dressing up as anything but Pippi Longstocking now. It’s her.
She’s brave and kind and I’m just so so glad that she’s feeling better. Her hearing has already improved dramatically. Whereas I usually had to leave the room whenever she was watching something on Netflix because it was just too loud for me, I was the one who had to ask her to turn up the volume because I couldn’t hear what was going on just hours after surgery.
Instead of her tonsils, they scraped out her adenoids, so we might still go in for a second operation at a later point, but we decided that we’d try to keep them for now as they’re so so important for your immune system.
What did you and your kids get up to last week? Let me know in the comments below and check out all the other Living Arrows post over on Donna’s blog.
oh my goodness, how adorable does she look as Pippa Longstocking?
Oh how cute does she look? AND what a trooper! She is so strong and brave x

She looks great in her outfit and glad she is back to her old self now. Fingers crossed she won’t need to go back in again #livingarrows

Pippi longstocking was one of my favourite films growing up! She makes an excellent pippi and now I have the song in my head!
That’s a great costume. She looks pleased to be dressed up. Glad the op went well. Strange they don’t do both - I had both tonsils and adenoids out at age 5. I guess they don’t take tonsils out much anymore. #livingarrows
I’m glad the surgery went well and she can’t remember about the anaesthetic. Loving the costume what an unusual birthday party theme. #LivingArrows
