Friday morning started with the alarm going off at 5:30 so that Craig and I could Natalie up to the children's surgery center by 6:20 for her tubes to be inserted into her ears.
And did you know that in my little town, there is still a line at Starbucks at 5:55 in the morning?!
And did you also know that there are people in this world that are completely made up with high heel boots, make-up and curled hair at 6:20?!
Regardless...we had a pretty uneventful morning. I suppose things went according to plan - we checked in, were admitted, she drank her goofy juice and off she went. The procedure took less than ten minutes and she was back in our arms and ANGRY. And wanting ONLY Daddy and definitely NOT Momma
Reading FOX in the waiting room before the procedure.....in her new Santa pajamas.
Friday night was rough - the antibiotic ear drops that are required for the next few days burn her ears and she has a hard time calming down from receiving them. She wasn't asleep in bed for much more than an hour before she was up and crying in her crib for "Dada." I figured it was the start of a pattern so I just pulled her into bed with me and I slept on six inches of the mattress while she had the rest of our king size bed.
Ajax taking good care of his patient.
And now on Sunday afternoon she is more or less back to normal. Still not a big fan of the ear drops, but she is running around the house, eating big meals and not crying over the littlest of frustrations.
And she slept through the night last night.
Here's to hoping it continues.
