surgery for kam

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! :)
