This kid is a champ. The whole surgery took all of 5 minutes and she did awesome. We were worried that she'd be upset before the procedure because we couldn't feed her anything, but she was very sweet. Grace found one nurse and freely gave her lots of smiles, but everyone else had to work for them. She was hungry and wasn't about to hand out smiles for nothing, except to Mom and Dad. Dr. Boone said her ears actually looked better and everything went fine with the tubes. Once we got back to her in recovery, which was only about 15 minutes from when they took her from us (BTW, that part was awful), she was extremely unhappy. They said she would be disoriented and whiny, but she cried like we had never heard her cry before. We gave her lots of apple juice, which helped, but not like leaving did.
They let us leave after a half hour, and the crying stopped immediately. She only slept for about 10 minutes after we got home, and when she woke up, Daddy got the first smile.
From that moment on, she couldn't have been more of an angel. She was sweet, and played, and talked all day. We all (all five of us) took a nap in Mom and Dad's bed, and had lots of fun the rest of the day. Grace really seems to be feeling better all ready, and that's enough for us.
