Post-surgery - so far so good!

Eden seems to have done well in surgery!  Uncle Matt came with us to the outpatient center early this morning, since Daddy had a gig.  Even though it was earlier than she usually gets up, and she didn't get anything to eat or drink in the morning, she was pretty chill during transit, and the surgery waiting room had lots of fun toys!

When we were called back into pre-op, we put Eden in a purple hospital gown... at this point she started to realize she was hungry and became pretty whiny.  But we still got a few good photos!

Last week I texted Grammy  "qin boll."  What will I text now?

Mama accompanied her while the doctors put her under anesthesia.  Waah!  Waah!  Waah!  Waah!  Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

Then, pretty much less than 10 minutes later, they wheeled this little bundle in...

Sleeping Eden lasted all of 20 seconds, after which she woke up and started thrashing around and screaming.  She wouldn't nurse for more than a few seconds before popping off and crying.  She was extremely cranky for the first 1/2 hour after she woke up, which we're told is normal!  She cried off and on until uncle Matt gave her a bottle in the car.

After that, she seemed totally normal!  Or even dare I say... better than normal!  She came in and had breakfast of eggs and bananas, was talking up a storm, and then went down for a nap very quickly and easily and is still resting.

And..

She's sleeping on her back!  We were told that having ear infections/fluid in the ears makes being on your back less pleasant.  And we haven't seen her stay sleeping on her back for a long time.  So, the evidence so far indicates that she WAS suffering from the fluid in her ears, and isn't anymore!

Overall, the procedure was far less traumatic than being on the phone with the doctor's office about the procedure yesterday.  Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts and well wishes.  And BIG thanks to Uncle Matt (Eden's birthday buddy) for being absolutely essential to my sanity this morning.
