Last night we took Sydnee to the pr-op hop at American Fork Hospital. She got to learn all about having her tonsils out and what kinds of things to expect. She was given a doll, her hospital buddy, which has a gown on and she got to color a face on it and put band-aids on it. She and Addy got to try everything, like smelling the gas masks and listening to their hearts with a stethoscope. She was a little nervous, but she had fun. She scored all sorts of stuff, like a hairnet, a mask and gloves. We then took a tour of the surgical area. I think her favorite part was getting a cookie and a bunch of Barbie stickers before we left. I think this helped a lot. When we got home, she put on her hat and mask and gloves and used a plastic fork to take her dolls tonsils out. It was super cute. I'm not sure how she'll do Tuesday, but I think she'll be just fine.
