Surgery Day

This is the day that I am having my tonsils and adenoids removed and tubes added to my sweet little ears. My family woke up really early to go to the hospital. First, we had to wear fancy bracelets so that everyone knew that they were with me! Then we were taken to a room with lots of beds and small tv's. My sisters and I had fun watching cartoons while we waited.

After lots of doctors came and talked to Mommy and Daddy they finally let me put on this handsome nightgown. I also got to choose which "flavor" of sleepy medicine I wanted. I chose strawberry! Then it was time to be wheeled away...

My sisters passed the time watching some more cartoons and hanging out in front of the vending machines wishing that they had brought some change with them.

My family had to wait a very long time for me. My surgery went well but I had some problems breathing when I woke up. I wasn't getting enough oxygen. They finally brought my Mommy back and she made sure that I kept the oxygen mask on my face. When my numbers were good they let me move to another floor where they could keep an eye on me!

This is the bed that I spent the rest of my stay in. I wasn't happy about that big thing on my arm but stickers helped! They said I had to keep it on so that I wouldn't pull my IV out. It worked! I had to stay overnight just to be sure that I was breathing okay. I ate lots of lemon ice and took walks around the hallways. First thing in the morning, Daddy and my sisters came to get us. They told me that I had lots of presents waiting at home! :)
