Surgery...

Ali had her surgery on her ears today. She had both tubes removed, both replaced and also had her adnoids removed. It was an early morning... starting at 5:30 a.m. for us! She of course woke up happy and was so sweet waiting for them to take her back. When they did come and get her she went back smiling. Even though this was the 3rd time she's been put under, it still kills me to let them come and walk away with my baby. I'm guessing it never gets easy.

Because Ali had her adnoids removed, she had to have an IV and a little more sedation. This made it a little bit harder for her to wake up. She was sad and cried while trying to wake up. The doctor came in and told us she did great in the surgery and most everything went well. When the dr took her left tube out, the hole that was left behind didn't close up well, so he had to put a small patch on it. He said we might have to go back in in a few weeks and re-patch it if it doesn't work.

You might notice the rash on this cute baby's face... well she's had it since Saturday along with a high fever. We thought the rash was just due to the fever she had, but the fever broke on Monday and the rash kept getting worse. My sister, Whitney's girls have also been sick, and she took them in to the doctor today. When she explained Ali's symptoms her doctor said to get her in right away. So... we went back into Logan and saw her pediatrician. Come to find out, she has hand foot and mouth disease. She is now on medication for it, but is contagious for a few days. Poor girl! Through it all she was smiling and being as happy as she possibly could be.

Cute little socks and hospital tag. :)

This is how I survived today. One for each trip made into Logan. Both full of Diet Coke. It's been a L-O-N-G day.
