Not-So-Wordless Wednesday

Today was Zuri's surgery to insert ear tubes and possible adenoidectomy.  We had to be at the hospital at 7:30.  Good thing because almost as soon as she woke up, Zuri was asking to eat. 

Here she is watching Caillou while Mommy was getting ready.  Yes, those are Christmas PJs and yes, she only has 1 sock on and it's a Christmas sock.  Don't judge....  :o)

We got to the hospital and changed into the gown.  Papaw John, Mamaw Andrea, Mamaw Terri, and Aunt Brandii were all there to see the Princess.  Zuri wasn't sure what to think at first.  She just stared at everyone.  She was probably wondering why everyone was there and what was going to happen.  She did really well though.  We watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on the TV and Doc McStuffins on my iPhone. 

When the nurse came in to take Zuri back, she started crying.  She went back with her soft blanket and her Elmo doll.  We were taken to a consultation room.  It seemed like we had just got drinks and snacks when the doctor came in to tell us that she did great.  She had a lot of fluid in her ears so the doctor said she should hear better immediately (not that we ever noticed this to be a problem) and her adenoids were "very large" so she removed those.  We had to wait a little longer for Zuri to come out of anesthesia before we could go back and see her.  When the nurse came to get us, we couldn't get to Zuri fast enough.  We could hear her crying/screaming from a few rooms down.  She was very irritable and confused and just didn't feel well.  This was normal since she was under anesthesia for such a short time.  We had to wait in recover for close to 2 hours because she didn't want to eat or drink anything and was very irritable.  Here's a picture after recovery.  I won't post the picture Daddy took of her crying in my arms.  :o(

By about 10:30, Zuri was finally ready to eat and drink.  She had an entire container of applesauce, a package of fruit snacks, and water.  She was ready to go.  We had to take her IV bag and walk around the hall with her!  By just after lunch, she was pretty much her normal self.  Here she is with Daddy's iPad.

Since she didn't nap after we got home, she was in bed by 5:50 tonight.  Hopefully she can rest and get a good night's sleep.  Aunt Junie is watching her for us tomorrow and Aunt Julie on Friday!
