Surgery Day


Well, Brooklyn had her ear tube surgery today. Her ears weren't clearing up so her pediatrician contacted the ENT to discuss moving up her surgery date. Luckily she agreed.
We arrived at Texas Children's at 6:45 this morning to register, go over insurance, take her vitals, talk to the nurses & doctors and a lot of waiting. Brooklyn really enjoyed the waiting room full of toys! Her surgery was scheduled for 8:45 but the doctor was running late so she didn't get called back until 9:30. She went to the nurse without hesitation. Fifteen minutes later the doctor came out and told me everything went really well and I would be called back shortly to see her in the recovery room. B was a little groggy and quiet when I finally saw her but she sucked down her bottle and then they let us go. She's been GREAT since we got home!
(Sorry the pictures of her playing before surgery aren't that clear...they are with my cell phone and she kept moving!)
