Kensley's surgery

Kensley had to have tubes put in her ears today. She's had 9 ear infections since November, so the doctors decided it's time to nip this in the bud... hopefully. The goal is no more ear infections. So, we went to the outpatient hospital this morning at 6:50 am and had the procedure done. I was really worried about her wanting her "nummy, nummy", but she didn't even ask for it. As soon as we walked back to pre-op, she said "eeees" and pointed to her ears. She knew why she was there. She was in a pretty good mood except when they had to give her a shot of "loopy" medicine as they called it. She pushed the needle right out of her leg. They got enough of the meds in her to take effect. It was pretty funny seeing her kind of zone out. She would play a bit then stare into space and then start playing again. We had to wait forever for the doctor to get there, but they finally took her back about 8:20. I didn't look at my watch, but it didn't take long at all. I sat & flipped through a magazine & before I got to the end, they called us back to recovery. She was crying when we got back there. She was a little better when I got her and gave her nummy, nummy. She was upset for about 30 min, but I think it was because nurses kept coming in to check on her & she thought they were going to do something to her again. Once we got in the van she was fine. However, the van was not. The battery was dead. Fortunately, one of the nurses came & let us jump it off. Needless to say, I had to go get a new battery today. Anyway, Kensley is doing great. She has showed no signs of hurting and she hasn't fussed at all this afternoon. She's napped great & ate normal. Hopefully, we've fixed her "eees" now.

Here's a picture of her with the sunglasses they gave her at the hospital while we were waiting.
