Surgery Update

So Abby had her tubes placed in her ears yesterday. We were to be at the surgical center at 7:40 am. After the anesthesiologist took her back I went into the waiting room. After a minute I checked the time on my phone and it said 8:18. Shortly after that I was told that the surgery was over and shown to a small consultation room where the dr. would come out and talk with me. I looked at my phone again and it was only 8:27. That's what I call a fast surgery. About 10-15 minutes later a nurse opened a door and had Abby in her arms. I followed her into the recovery area where she handed Abigail over to me. She was quite fussy for the next 1/2 hour, but part of that was probably because she was in a medical facility. About 2 months ago she decided she's had enough with all of these dr. visits and now cries whenever we go, even if she's just being weighed. She's also been going through the whole stranger anxiety off and on. We were back home shortly before 10:00. I hooked her up to a feeding at this time and she took her nap. She fussed a little more, but nothing major. By time I got her out of her swing she was ready to get back to the business of playing. We also kept her on the oxygen for the rest of the day just incase the sedation caused any problems.

Today she's been sneezing more and has had a runny nose. We'll see if the new tubes keep her from getting an infection. She's getting antibiotic drops in her ears for the next three days as part of the surgery follow up care. This may help too. I just don't want it to go into her chest. Joshua is still stuffy and coughing too. He usually doesn't have a cold hang on this long. Hope he's done with it by time school starts up again on Monday. I'm also dealing with the nasal congestion and sore throat. Not my favorite thing. It's worse in the evenings and when I wake up in the morning. So far Mark has kept clear of it, which is unusual. He's usually the first one to get it. It will be nice if he stays healthy.

I have some more photos, but haven't gotten them put on the computer yet. I'll have to work on that tomorrow. We've been having both computer and internet problems for the past couple of days. Tomorrow is also egg dyeing day. Joshua should enjoy it now that he's older. We decorated cookies yesterday and the day before-eggs, flowers and butterflies. We're supposed to do a community egg hunt on Saturday, but it's also supposed to rain. If it's raining like it was this morning we'll just be doing our own backyard hunt on Sunday. It's supposed to be clear by then.
