Sarah's surgery

Sarah had surgery bright and early at 5:30 this morning and she did great! When we got to the hospital she was very cheerful and happy. She is such a morning person. They gave her some medicine they call the "happy med" that made her very loopy just to make her relaxed. We had a lot of waiting around to do before she was actually taken back for the surgery. She kept the nurses pretty entertained with all the smiles and waving. When they took her back to surgery it was a quick procedure and we were home by 8am. When she came out of anesthesia, the nurses said she was the best baby they have ever had. She didn't cry like most kids do, instead she smiled and was very curious about her new environment. Josh and I didn't get to go back to see her in the recovery room because they only let parents back if the kids cry. But we were waiting in the waiting room when we heard a little voice say "da?" Then they let us sit with her in the holding room to make sure her she was able to hold down fluids (which she did). As soon as she saw daddy she had a huge smile on her face. She is such a daddy's girl. I think the worst part of the whole situation for her has been when we took off the tape that held the cotton balls in her ears. She did so good and she has been talking and making a lot more new sounds in her speech. I don't know if the tubes have anything to do with her making all these new speech sounds, but it's been hilarious to hear her talk up a storm. When we got home I think she was very hungry and tired. So we fed her and she played for a little while. Then she slept for about 4 hours. When she got up she ate lunch and has been playing ever since. She is acting like her normal happy self with a lot more to say. We have to put ear drops in her ears and she hates that. I feel so bad for her. She is so tired of people messing with her ears. Other than that she is doing great. I am so happy that it is over. Now hopefully we have seen the last of the ear infections.
