Tubes

Today was surgery day! After our appointment with the ENT Friday, it was determined that after 7 ear infections in 5 months, Sophie was prime candidate for tubes.

This morning we arrived at the Surgery Center of Charleston at 7:45 a.m. Poor kidd-o couldn't have anything to eat or drink after midnight but that didn't seem to bother her at all. As soon as we got there we were taken back to get Sophie's vitals and then prepped for surgery. She did cry when they took her back but 10 minutes later we were called back to the recovery room. She fussed a little but it really wasn't as bad as I was expecting. She looked a little dazed and confused but recovered very will. Within a few minutes she was drinking her sippy cup and eating some dry cereal.

The doctor said he did suction some fluid from her ears but over all they weren't that bad.

What a trooper she is! So proud of my little booger. I'm optimistic that she will not have the problems that we have had over the last 5 months and so happy to be done with antibiotics (for now).

We love you Sophie! You're such a good girl and we're so proud of how you did today!
