Tubes

Sadie got tubes on May 14. She also had her adenoids taken out. My poor baby didn't do well on her hearing test, and she has been the ear infection queen over the past several months. She did well during the surgery, but she had a hard time once she was in recovery. She was kicking and waving her arms and screaming; it was awful to see. She seemed to have the strength of 1000 men as she ripped her IV out of her hand. She was very upset about the IV and about the pulse monitor on her toe. Momma Lady, Grandpa, and Katie came to the hospital for much needed moral support. Momma Lady and Grandpa took Betsy to Vacherie for the weekend so that we could focus on Sadie. Sadie didn't sleep great, and she was a little bit fussy. But she enjoyed doing her puzzles--she is the puzzle queen. She also liked all of the attention. She did ask for her sister the whole weekend.

It's been about 3.5 weeks since her surgery. Her hearing and speech have improved dramatically. We are thrilled with the results.

Right before surgery:

I took some pictures of her in front of the fridge, and she said, "No! I say cheese by da door!" As you all know we usually take posed pictures of the girls by the front door.
