Tubes in Ears.......February 14, 2011

Paizlie has had one too many ear infections this past year so we decided to have tubes put in her ears. We are grateful for the surgery because we think it will help with a few other problems she is having as well. Her ears are CONSTANTLY full of wax, so we are hoping the tubes will eliminate not only the wax and ear infections but also help her hear better. She is a little bit behind on her speech too.

We had to be to Davis Surgical Center at 7:00am, bright and early.

Paizlie trying to wake up and I am sure wondering why we're out and about at such an early hour.

I love to snuggle with my sweet kids. Paizlie's surgery went well. It was quick. We were in and out of the surgical center within two hours. However, when she woke up from being under anesthesia she was a BEAR. I am sure she was scared and not sure what to think. She cried for about 3 hours after the surgery, trying to pull out of it. She also threw up before we left the surgical center. I felt so bad for her but I also felt bad for the other patients trying to re coupe from their surgeries because she just kept crying and screaming. It was sad :(....

Paizlie out of surgery, she was NOT happy at all.

When we got home and she settled down she was happy as a lark. She was running around and jibber jabbering all afternoon long. She acted like nothing had even happened. She was very happy. (I think she liked the hearing the sound of her voice because she could actually hear it better.)
