We woke up and got to the hospital at 5:30am. They run a really tight ship over there and she went right in at 7:30am. I sat and read for only 35min when the ENT came in and told me what and angel she was. She could hardly believe that all these strangers, wearing masks and messing with and she never cried or flinched at their prep of her just before putting her under. Recovery went well and she actually woke up from the anesthesia without crying. The big thing they wanted from her was to keep drink and some soft foods down and the way she bounced back you would never have known she had just had surgery in her throat. She ate and drank like normal and was walking the halls in the early evening. She won the hearts of the staff and was exceptionally cooperative at taking her meds. Such a blessing and I know it is because she was being covered in prayer.
I had intended to bring my camera but totally forgot in the early morning hours as I was packing up our stuff so my cell phone camera had to be good enough.
Here she is in recovery...
Look at that little babe in such a big bed...not super cooperative with the smile though
She woke up from her nap hurting but the ice cream soon helped her spirits and carried her the rest of the afternoon.
Feeling so good this morning she was looking out our 7th floor window and saying "Wow, Mom, look it?"
We got home at about 11:30am today and have been taking it easy so far. I am not too sure how I am supposed to keep her down when all she wants to do is run, but we are trying. I think we are both looking forward to sleeping in our own beds tonight.
