Tubes

Grace and I were at the hospital at 6:30 this morning to have her tubes done. She was immediately taken back to outpatient surgery and prepped for her procedure. My previous experience at Floyd County Hospital was NOT GOOD. But this morning, everyone was so nice, so helpful, and so genuinely caring.
When they were prepping Grace for her procedure, they brought her a teddy bear and stickers. All of the nurses spoke to her and asked her questions; it was really nice.

The procedure lasted about 15 minutes, and Grace awoke from the anesthesia immediately. She spent very little time in recovery and post-op. She woke up happy, perky, and ready to go. What a blessing!

She has run a fever off and on for three weeks now. In post-op, her temperature was the lowest it's been since her ear infection first started. I hope that she continues with no fever. I'm crossing my fingers for an extra-long nap time this afternoon and an end to the whole ear infection ordeal.

Side note: Dan kept Gabriel home from school today. He was running a fever when Dan picked him up yesterday afternoon. He is still running a fever today and complaining of a stomach ache. So far, no vomiting or diarrhea. Maybe it's just a virus, and he'll be 100% tomorrow.

Oh, I'm so glad that you finally got the procedure done & that everyone at Floyd was nice this time!
Wow-I can't believe she doesn't have a fever already! Affirmation that you did the right thing, mom! ;)
