Surgery Day - Chock Full of Emotions
The day started REALLY early, 5 a.m. to be exact. Oh, did I mention that I the last time I ate was at 10:30pm and was not allowed to eat until the surgery was completed?
After we arrived at Children's Healthcare, I was quickly whisked away to take some vitals: Blood pressure, heart rate, etc. Of course, I made my presence known by crying bloody murder.
After that, we were escorted to the Pre-Op room where I donned a pretty little gown (see pics below).
The nurse said I had congestion, so I had to endure a breathing treatment...not fun! After the treatment, mom carried me back to the OR. Next thing I know, I am waking up in a Post-Op room with folks staring at me. I downed 2 ounces of Pedialyte and 6 ounces of formula.
I was discharged and it was off to the hizzy after that, where I took several naps.
After the naps, it was non-stop play time for me! New Toys awaited my anxious little hands, begging to be played with. Below are a couple of pictures from those glorious times.
All in all, it was a very busy day, with a wide spectrum of emotions: Fear, Sadness, Anger (at the medical staff), confusion, and most of all, JOY! Joy that my ears FINALLY felt good! I want to thank everyone for their prayers for a safe and effective surgery - those prayers were certainly answered!!!

Eleven is Heaven...
Eleven (months) is heaven unless you have double ear infections,
well, at least that is better than the past presidential elections!
well, at least that is better than the past presidential elections!
Once again I turn another month older, another month wiser,
So crack open your beverage of choice, just not a Budweiser.
In another month, Lord Willing I will be swimming in a sea of clothes & toys,
You may come to my party if you are bearing gifts, you hear that girls and boys?
I am tired of my ears bothering me and making me extremely miserable,
However, If my dinosaur gets filled that will make my one-year quite memorable.
You have one month to prepare for my first birthday, so consider yourself notified,
Just remember, If you come empty-handed I will be utterly mortified!
Mark your calenders now, Next month we will break bread and even a birthday cake,
It will be one for the ages, one that you don't want to miss for Heaven's sake!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving Month & Be sure to give Thanks for all that the Lord has blessed you with!
