Our little Livi Joy had to get tubes in her ears after getting a 4th ear infection within the same 4-5 months. I know that this is a very common (and low risk) surgery, but I was still very nervous. She had this surgery 1 week after her 1st Birthday. She was one of the very first surgeries of the day because she is so young, so we were there bright and early. She enjoyed running around in the waiting room. When it came to going back to the O.R., I wasn't sure how she would be, since she isn't so fond of strangers. However, one of the nurses started playing peek-a-boo with her and she went right to her.
It was hard waiting for her, but she was back in my arms within a half-hour or so. I thought she would be so tired and "recovering" all day, but she was Better Than Ever! Lots of energy, and SO happy! The surgery did immediate wonders! She came home and chased her big brother around and played.
Gavin taught her to play "Super Baby." Her shirt says "Super Patient."
Both are appropriate names for her. :)
