after more than a month on antibiotics and not having much success clearing up a double ear infection . . . kam had tubes put in her ears and her adenoids removed today. the girl is a trooper! she really didn't understand what was happening, but really didn't even cry when they took her back for surgery . . . she was so excited about the tiny stuffed animal lion they gave her! :)
the nurse was shocked at how sweetly she woke up from surgery and then . . . well, she turned a little crazy! poor baby was out of it and trying to rip out her iv, which couldn't be removed until she would drink. kam was SOOOO mad. i never knew how strong she was, but i was having trouble holding her arms apart so she wouldn't rip it out. the nurse finally left us alone and as soon as she was gone, kam said, "i have a drink now?" so funny . . . she was fine after that! sucked down a whole cup of juice, got her iv removed and got to head home.
she was a rock star when we got home too . . . she ate 3 pancakes and played for 2 hours before i laid her down for a nap! :) she was a little fussy in the evening, but never needed the pain medicine! :) she did so well! now the tough part is keeping her head out of the water . . . with this heat, all we want to do is swim! i blame it on the dr. though, and keep telling her the dr. said "no", so at least she isn't mad at me! :)
the cutest part of the whole thing is that we have to give her anti-biotic ear drops to keep out any infection . . . i put cotton in her ears after the drops. she keeps saying . . . "i have cotton candy in my ears?" too cute! :)

Aww! Glad she's doing well now. We really didn't do very well with the no swimming thing, but JC had her check up and all is well, so we didn't damage anything! :-)
