Baby's 1st surgery

Daphne has had at least 7 ear infections since the beginning of the year. Pretty much anything that's going around cold/flu wise, she catches and then it turned into a double ear ache. So finally we got tubes put in both ears and its been so much better! Another plus is when we flew the pressure change didn't seem to bother her because she didn't have to "pop" her ears, they were just open. I was nervous for the surgery mostly because she had to go in fasting(hadn't eaten since 10:30 pm) and thats usually the 1st thing she wants in the morning. Also They don't let you watch you just hand over your baby to the anesthesiologist and he carries her back to the operating room while you wait in the family waiting room. She was actually really good though, (such a blessing) as you can see from the picture of her in the patient chair just waiting patiently :) When they wake up from the surgery they are pretty mad and they warned me but it was still hard to recognize her hysterical cry from another room. The nurses didn't wait long to come get me though and she calmed down once I held her.
