Bilateral Myringotomy and Ventilation Tubes

It was a big day for Eden and her Mom and Dad. She went in for a "bilateral myringotomy and ventilation tubes" aka. she got tubes put in her ears. We checked in at 7:30 this morning and changed her into the cutest little gown. She was so happy for not having eaten and having a rough night because i couldn't feed her anything at all. After everything was in order the nurse carried her away and me and chase were sent to a waiting room. The procedure only took about 5 minutes and it was only about 15 minutes before they brought her back to me. She was very upset because she had to wake up in a strange place without her mommy and she made sure everyone in the hospital knew it!! If you know Eden, you know she has a set of lungs on her and boy did she use them. She was a little disoriented and in a little pain so it wasn't until we got home that she finally settled down and zonked out. We took a nice long nap together and when she finally woke up this afternoon, she was back to her happy self. She really does seem to be so much happier now that her ears are working like they should. I am so happy it is over and that she can start to explore the world again with her new ears!

She got to take her blanket and Mr. Monkey with her.

I'm soooo happy she's finally decided she likes the binki, especially for times like this.
