Today was the big day for Analise to have tubes put in her ears. She’s been a champ! We were out of the house at 5:35 am and back home by 7:30am. Wow! (It helps that the outpatient surgery center is 5 minutes from our house!) We took Analise in her pj’s, and she played right up until they took her back. She had a new little Dora doll that she took with her to show everyone. We didn’t hear her fuss at all! <\/p>\n
The doctor checked in with us after about 10 minutes, and he said everything went well. They suctioned out a lot of thick fluid in one ear, but there was no sign of lingering infection. They brought her back to snuggle in my lap less than 20 minutes later. She was sleepy, but not at all grumpy. She actually wanted to stay in "her room", she called it… probably because she knew once we got home my attention would be a little more divided to Josiah. <\/p>\n
But we headed out with a quick stop at McD’s. She’s been resting with movies and PBS shows on the couch this morning, as have I. Josiah has a terrible cold and cough, so he’s really snuggly, too, but I’m trying to make sure Analise gets all the "mommy moments" she needs today. She’s asleep in the bedroom now, and Josiah is playing. It’s a juggling act! Thanks for all the prayers! Analise was a champ! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
