Tubes

Abby all dressed in her hospital gown with the "talking" TV remote.

Abby had a rough day today, but she has been such a trooper. She had tubes placed in her ears and a cyst in front of her right ear removed. We started out the day having to wake her up at 6:00am so we could make it to Riverton Hospital by 6:30. She was not very happy about that, she is not an early riser. After we changed her diaper and went up stairs she was okay and was excited to to Grandpa Mark. Daddy and Grandpa Mark gave her a blessing before we left, it had to be a quick one because she was not to thrilled about having their hands on her head she kept trying to pull them off. We got to the hospital and she was happy to be will Mommy and Daddy even in this unfamiliar place. They got us all registered then took us back to get her weighed (she now weighs 22lbs) then into a room to get her ready and wait for Dr. Meads. She looked pretty cute in her little hospital gown, fuzzy socks and hair net. Dr. Mead came and talked to us then the anesthesiologist came and explained that they would put her to sleep with gas then they would start an IV and intubate her. I am just glad that she is little enough that she did not understand what was going on. She just thought we were hanging out a a new place that had a TV remote the would talk (you know at the hospital how the sound comes out of the remote, she thought that was pretty neat), chill in a comfy night gown and watch Curious George. After the Anesthesiologist talked to us he carried her off. That was the rough part for Mom and Dad. The next thing we knew the doc came in and told us the surgery went well, that her ears had a lot of fluid in them, and that the cyst was lager than her had expected but he was able to remove that successfully. After about 15 minutes they brought Abby back from recovery and she was not a happy camper. She just cried and cried for 30-45 mins. She didn't know what she wanted. I am sure she was starving since she had not eaten since 9:00pm the night before, but she didn't what to nurse. We finally calmed her down and headed home. Of course we has to listen to her favorite Josh Groban the whole way home. She was doing much better when we got home. She had a little snack then took a really good nap. I had to go to work so she has been at home with dad all day. It sound like she is doing well.

Typical hospital gown, opens in the back.

Guys I don't like this hat!
