Tubes

This week Reagan had tubes placed in her ears again along with her adenoids removed. She had infection after infection the past month and we were hoping to postpone the need to have tubes again with the warmer weather but no luck. Her adenoids were full of infection and so we are hoping that those were the evil things causing all the problems.

I can't even imagine taking your child in for major surgery! The anxiety with this is enough.

We were wondering how she was going to get from our arms to the table without hysteria, but the anesthesiologist who came to get her was an older doctor so we excitingly said "Hey! It's Grandpa"! She went willingly and hopefully he gave her hugs before he put her under :O) She came out fighting and we could hear her screaming for several minutes before a nurse comes in and has the "I can't wait to hand this child over" look. I really should have warned the nurses about her last experience with these! She was fightin' mad, trying to rip out her IV. Her poor face was so swollen from the guard used to hold her mouth while they removed the adenoids. In all the madness they had trying to get her calmed down they forgot to give her pain medication, so it was a rough few hours! I'm pretty sure all those poor kids waiting to have their tonsils out were scared to death after we left!! She hasn't slept through an entire night yet but we are hoping that's soon.
