Surgery

Makayla FINALLY got tubes put into her ears. Hopefully it will stop the infections, and she wont have anymore issues until her ears are fully developed. Her surgery was Friday, and we had to report to Makay-Dee hospital at 7:15 am. Which means I was up at 6 so we could leave by 6:30. I haven't been up that early since middle school. I am not a morning person. But it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. When we got to the hospital, we had to check in, and then wait to be called back. My mom got to the hospital right as we were being called back. We went into a room, to get Makayla in her gown, and to talk to the Dr and the Anesthesiologist. The surgery would be quick, and she would only have a little bit of discomfort. Then the Anesthesiologist (who was an old man!) took Makayla back to the OR. Kill me. She does not like men, or being taken away, especially by strangers!! We then had to wait in the waiting room until she was out of surgery, and awake. A nurse came out after about 10 min. The surgery was successful, and Makayla was awake. We went and talked to the Dr, and he explained what he did, and what I needed to do to take care of her ears. She has drops that go in the ears three times a day, for three days. Then we finally got to see Makayla. A nurse brought her to us in a recovery room, and She was screaming. We finally got her to settle down, but every time a nurse would come in to check on her, she would start screaming again, and cling to grandma. She is definitely traumatized, and thinks that everyone is going to take her away. Once we got food in her body, (she hadn't eaten or had anythink to drink since 8 pm the night before, and it was about 9:45 at this point) She was just fine and ready to go home. We headed back to my apartment, and decided to head to logan a day early, just incase I needed help with Makayla. By the end of the day, it didnt even seem like she had gone through surgery. I love my little girl more than anything, and couldn't be more happy that she is okay.
