our little rockstar

Wednesday, May 18, 2011 |
hi everyone! ryan and i aren't ones to boast....but we are so proud of our little rockstar today.  she was such a big girl this morning and did so great with getting her ear tubes.  we are so grateful that everything went smoothly and that this will hopefully be the start to a wonderful ear infection FREE future ;)

we woke up early and got to the surgical center a little before 7.  the hardest part of the day was keeping emma distracted and occupied so that she wouldn't be super fussy over not being able to eat or drink....this is, afterall, the first thing she does in the morning!  it took a while to get checked in so we were a little worried that a meltdown was in store.  but, she was very interested in her new surroundings...making sure to check out all the "toys" {i.e. expensive breakable medical equipment!} in the pre-op area. she charmed all the nurses and doctors and didn't fuss one bit.  the staff and doctors were all so great with her.  we were only away from her for about 15 minutes before we were paged to the recovery area to receive a very groggy emma. she woke up in my arms and we were able to go home after 10 minutes of observation.  the doctor told us that he removed quite a bit of fluid from behind her ears, that the tubes went in very easily, and that {and i quote}...."she did awesome!!". yep, that's our girl. our little rockstar.


she spent the morning snuggling on the couch with me while the anesthesia wore off.


all of a sudden, around 11:45, she just popped right up, wriggled off the couch and was ready to go!! she stuffed herself with some crackers and applesauce and got some playtime in!  i just put her down for her afternoon nap and am about to grab one myself....i was a nervous wreck last night and woke up just about every hour on the hour!  we are so happy to have this behind us and, like i said, are so grateful that everything went as well as it did.






boy do we love this little girl....words fail to cover it!  thank you for all your kind words and thoughts....we are looking forward to A LOT less time at the doctor's office :)
