All Done!

Yesterday morning we took our little babe to the hospital for ear tubes and adenoid removal.  It was the "perfect" time for her.  The night before she ran a high fever due to another ear infection (despite being on antibiotics for an ear infection).  The fever was heaven-sent.  I was so worried about having my baby operated on, given anesthesia for the first time, the IV, breathing tube, etc.  But after being up with her all night, I realized that this was the only way she would get better.

Even though I was a complete wreck at the hospital, our babe did great and we were on our way back home before noon.

I told my husband as we were waiting, this is such a big event in our lives (just like having a baby).  I was appreciative to all the doctors and nurses who recognized that, even though this type of procedure is their everyday job.

We are looking forward to a healthy year ahead. (fingers crossed)
