Mikayla had her TUBE surgery today

Thanks everyone for your advice a few weeks ago about this. We were blessed that a great friend of mine, one I met on this forum actually, was able to get us an appointment at a FABULOUS ENT super quick and today was Mikayla's surgery! We were thrilled by the DR and staff as they took amazing care of her.

Mikayla "fought" going under and had to be given some "extra" which made for a rough coming-out time. She has been cranky and out of it all day, crashing into things and dizzy. I think she will sleep great tonight and hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. Her surgery was at 8AM this morning.

Thanks again for all the advice...she did pretty well and the DR said her ears were full of fluid. So this was the route we needed to take FOR SURE.

And as a THANK YOU...here are some pics of her taken yesterday.
HUGS

She's adorable!
I'm sorry she's had such a rough day, but really--she'll be SO much better now!! That fluid just wreaks havoc on them. Connor had his tubes in just shy of his 1st bday and it helped him tremendously!
Then on Aug 11th, Cristian's having them put in, too. I just wish they could do it sooner!

I sure hope Mikayla is feeling better today. My Niece and Nephew have had this procedure done and it really helped.

Thanks for sharing her photos, What a Doll!!

Good to hear she did great! I bet those tubes will make a world of difference to her. She sure is a cutie pie, such a sweet gentle face.
