We thank God that Madeline's surgery was a breeze. We had to be there at 6:15 am. Not surprisingly, of the 12 or so kids that gathered in the surgery center over the next hour, Madeline was the loudest. All the rest of the parents and kids were acting like NORMAL people act when it's way too early to be up. Madeline was running around the center like a maniac and talking/yelling the whole time. She HATED her hospital gown (who can blame her?) and spent several minutes shrieking and trying to pull it off.
She didn't cry too much as she came up from the anesthesia and she has now been asleep for about 3 hours. We left the center, ran errands, came home, and still she slept. I'm not complaining, since she slept very little last night. One of the ears was infected again, so we're glad that we went ahead with the surgery.
All's well that ends well. We're grateful to LeBonheur East Surgery Center - every nurse and doctor was amazing.

I'm sure she was just loud because her hearing was affected before the surgery - I'm sure she won't be so loud now - and of course with a fashionista sister she would hate a hospital gown - just be glad Meredith wasn't there - her adult verbal critique would have been truly embarassing.
poor madi!!! i didn't know she was having surgery. which is amazing as i've talked to chris about 5000 times over the last two weeks! bad daddy.
glad she's ok! xoxo
yay for no more ear infections! i hope.
So glad that it went well. By far tubes was the best decision we ever made. He has rarely been sick since we did that. A huge blessing for him and his very worried parents.
I'm glad it turned out well! VeeGee HATES those gowns so much -- I just let her go back in just a diaper. Crossing our fingers that that will be the end of ear infections for your sweetie.
