Ivanna Surgery

Today Ivanna had tubes put in her ears and her adenoids removed.  Boy was she a TROOPER.  Mommy didn't cry until she went to recovery and they were just waking her up.  The nurses were really good to her but goodness she was GROUCHY!!  They all loved her and thought she was very sweet.  She drank a full cup of apple juice.  Before she got awake they had put her in my arms so that when she did become coherent she would find mommy and daddy there to comfort her.

Here are some pictures of on the way to the hospital, once we got her gown on her and then once we got her home and settled for some rest.

The doctor says she did great - it was over in about 20 minutes actually.  He said she had a lot of fluid built up behind her left ear and the tubes will fall out on their on in about 12-18 months.  Then we will need to re-evaluate to see if they will need to be put back in.

She will return to school on Monday!!  YAY!!!  Just kidding we have enjoyed having her with us for the extended Christmas break.

The pictures are not in order but you can tell what is happening by the captions!  WHEW!!!  Mommy and Daddy are glad this is over!

Happy New Year to all of you!

One our way to the hospital!
