Thank God that is over! Tubes have been inserted, anesthesia has worn off, screaming is done, hearing is better, Addison is much happier. Woohoo!
The ENT was wonderful. Keith and I really liked him and Addison, it seemed, liked him too (well, at least his funny surgery hat). She did really well, but woke up screaming bloody murder. Thankfully, Mom warned me that a small percentage of babies tend to wake up from anesthesia screaming their heads off and to not worry because it wears off. Thank God it wore off exactly 30 minutes after she was put under. Whew, I don't want to go through that again. That freaked me out more than her being put under the anesthesia.
The ENT was glad we had it done too. He said Addison is a tough little girl, that she should have been crying non-stop from the pain her ears were causing. He was surprised she was such a content, happy baby. He also said that her ears were so bad they were causing 40% hearing loss for her. Poor baby...but it's nice to know we have a tough little girl. :o)
I can already tell she's much happier. She seems to smile and laugh a lot more than she used to and she tries to repeat what I say all the time now. Great, now I really have to watch what I say...
Oh yeah! I figured out how to attach pictures to this thing, so I found a recent picture of Addison and hopefully it will show up when I post this. My next goal is to post video.
Until next time...
