Nacho's Surgery

The Nacho's surgery to get tubes in her ears was this morning and everything went well. After being an OR tech for many years, that surgery didn't bother/worry me at all. That is, it didn't worry me until Reid. I knew how minor this procedure is, but she still would be going under anesthesia, and right now I have very little confidence in the human body. But, the Nacho made it though with flying colors. She was the star of the show at the surgery center. All the doctors and nurses LOVED her! And even waking up from anesthesia she was all smiles. We are home now and I finally got her down for a nap. I figured after having surgery in the morning that she would sleep for the rest of the day, but NOPE! She has been wound up all afternoon. Surgery?? What surgery???

Hopefully we start to see an improvement in her speech development. And hopefully we also have no more ear infections! I am looking forward to not stressing out every time she has a runny nose. Because let's face it, she is a toddler in group day care, she always has a runny nose.

We started the morning in a completely empty, yet gigantic, waiting room. She liked the bean bag chairs.

Then we were called back to the pre-op area, where Nacho thought she was the one in charge!

We got home and she finally got to eat. Post-surgery pancakes. YUM!

Several hours late, she finally gives in and takes a nap.
