Savannah's surgery

Well the poor thing finally had tubes put in yesterday. We left the house at 515 which was absolutely painful. I thought she would be so cranky since she hadn't eaten anything, but she actually did fairly well (well if you consider screaming at me from 0300-0400 in the morning okay). We got to the hospital and got all settled and they finally took us down around 645 and once we got all the details sorted out they took her around 730. By 0800 she was screaming mad and wondering where I was so they took me back and I just rocked her. She was a champ, although the doc said her eardrums nearly exploded from being so full of mucous and fluid. We stayed at the hospital for our required 2 hours which was painful since she just wanted to get down and play. We finally left the hospital for home and just as I was drifting off in hopes of sleep when I got home I looked in the rearview to see a great representation of the Exorcist happening in the backseat. The poor dear was puking her toenails up. I called Mom (who thankfully had flown in to help out with the assorted children on different days) and told her to start a bath as we would be flying in as fast as the car would go. I couldn't put the window down as I was afraid I would hurt or disturb her ears so I was overloaded with the pungent aroma from the backseat. She proceeded to throw up for a full 15 minutes but it was thankfully all contained in the carseat. So she got a quick bath at home, ate a grilled cheese and headed off for naptime. Last night she slept 14 1/2 hours and is doing fantastic. The doctor said with how full her ears were she undoubtedly had trouble with equilibrium and hearing, so now is a new start for her. Anyway, we are all great, especially Miss Savannah.
