Catherine had her first surgery this morning. She had a rough few months with ear infections, runny nose, cough, fluid constantly on her ears, and fevers. She had 4 rounds of antibiotics but many more infections we believe. We went for tubes in both ears this morning. We waited for 2 hours before the surgery started. And Catherine was such a trooper. She didn't fuss one bit while waiting. After the Versed, she was loopy. She would sit up, lay down, flop around, try to give her toys insistently to the hospital staff. The doctor said we should notice instant improvement with her hearing due to suctioning out so much mucus from behind her ear drums. She also had an infection recently so we have special drops for 1 week to give. She was cranky just for a bit while in the hospital but was good the rest of the day.
We are so thankful all went well and pray this helps her hearing.
Her she is pre-op. Reading a book she got on Easter.
