Tube Installation Success!

Jolie had tubes put in her ears early Friday morning and she did GREAT! She's so awesome! She couldn't eat after midnight and we had to be there at 6:15am. She did really well with not eating. Anytime she started to get fussy, she could be easily distracted--unlike some of the other kiddos there! Then you have to meet with several people and sign lots of forms--admission, pre-op nurse, anesthesiologist, ENT, surgical nurse..good grief! I just wanted to get it over with already! I think they took Jolie back around 8am or so and then we went back to get her about 10 minutes later.

Even though she had just finished her last medicine Thursday, the ENT said she already had more fluid in her ears so I'm very glad we decided to get her tubes! She was starting to be a revolving door for antibiotics--not to mention the 'death farts'!

Once we were back with her, Josh told me he was more nervous for this than when she was born!!! Seriously!?!?!? I guess he didn't have to do the whole labor and delivery thing! I think because I'd heard from so many people how easy this was, I wasn't really nervous at all--maybe even excited for Jolie to get some relief!

Jolie did great though and I don't think she has any idea anything even happened! What a champ! Here she is hanging out modeling her lovely hospital bracelet. Look at that smirk--'surgery? no big deal for me!'
