This is so extremely sad

I realize that she had a lot of health problems, but if it were my child a tonsillectomy would have been a last resort. It's actually a very dangerous operation. When I was little they were ripping them out of kids left and right. I used to get strep throat continuously and they wanted to do it to me. My Mom refused because she was a nurse and understood how serious the operation was. It's why they rarely perform it now. These poor parents.

I don't even have kids and I can't imagine making that decision to let her go. But since her Mom was a nurse I would think she would understand that she's not coming back. Terrible all around.
