Getting Tubes

This morning we all left the house nice and early (5:30am) to arrive to the Nebraska Surgery Center by 6:00am. Hailey went in her favorite purple pajama's and was awake but quiet during the ride. When we arrived she really wanted to eat so Jim and I practically bounced on our heads trying to distract her. She was given an arm band which she hated and wanted off immediately. We were taken back to the pre-op room about 6:20 and waited to talk to the doctors before surgery began at 7:00. Hailey managed to charm all of the nursing staff and was in quite a good mood, however, it was short lived. Her nurse Sarah, was very nice and Hailey did not cry when Sarah took her back to the operation room. In all, the surgery lasted less than 10 minutes and the doctor reported all went well. Hailey had a difficult time waking up from the anesthesia and was quite disoriented and upset. She was not happy unless she was drinking her sippy cup and when we ran out she let us have it. After about 20 minutes Hailey was able to calm down and we were allowed to go home after she had her vital signs checked. We all got home and took a nap. Hailey woke up hungry and throughout the day has been returning to her normal self just a little extra tired.

We want to thank everyone for their support and well wishes today. Althought things went really well, I hope we never have to do it again!
