Grace had her ear tube surgery this morning.
We got up bright and early and went to the doctor's office. Grace got to wear her pajamas!
Then she put on a gown and hat.
And looked so adorable and tiny.
I put a hat on, too trying to cheer Grace up. But Grace took hers off saying, "I don't want to play doctor." I think she was nervous. I know I was.
Next, we went to the pre-op room. The anesthesiologist came in and asked us some general medical history questions and a then nurse took Grace's picture with a polaroid camera. That was pretty neat. And before we knew it, three nurses came in and took Grace away.
Within minutes, it was all over. David and I were in Grace's recovery room before she even woke up. She looked like a sleeping angel. A few moments later, Grace was awake and ready to go home.
After we got home, we realized Grace still had her thermometer on. And her wrist bracelet. I saved both for her baby book. I was astonished to see how quickly Grace recovered. She acted like nothing had even happened. In fact, Grace acted like she felt better than she had in weeks. I am simply amazed by children's resilience. And I am so thankful that everything went well and my baby is feeling better.
