We got back to the room and about 2 minutes later the doctor was already calling telling us they were going to take out her adenoids, they were huge and swollen. So really by the time we walked back down the hall and to her patient room, they had put her to sleep, put her tubes in, and had already determined her adenoids need to be out, SOOOOO fast. So they did an IV and gave her more anesthesia. That was probably the theme of our visit to Children's in the last 2 days-efficiency! Everyone does their job really well and quickly. I guess when you're working w/children you have to do things fast!
So we came home this morning and she slept all day until around 3:00. She only woke up for about 30 minutes to eat and then went back to sleep. She had so much medicine in her I didn't think she would ever wake up. But when she did wake up, she was happy and by late this afternoon she was back to her old self. I was missing my little sidekick all day while she was napping but I did enjoy some free time.
We had a wonderful experience at Children's South-the staff, rooms, playroom, snacks, doctors, short wait times, helpful people, giving instructions, etc. EVERYTHING about being there was very positive and we're so thankful to live so close in case we ever need them again (but hopefully not:) Thank you again to everyone for remembering her today. God is so good and faithful and we know He was the one taking care of our little baby today through all the doctors and nurses, and through our praying friends!
And now we are all going to bed early at our house-Good Night!

I am so glad that she is feeling better! I'm praying that she will be 100% back to her normal self tomorrow! I also can't believe that she is almost one already! Time does fly by so quickly. Merry Christmas to yall!
I'm so happy everything went well! Sounds like a great hospital. Now you can enjoy your Christmas hopefully "sick-free". I'm expecting our next ear infection to probably arrive Dec. 24th. That's usually how it happens! :(
Have a Merry Christmas and maybe we'll see you in Dothan!
So glad to hear that Amy! God is sooo good!
Amy, I am so sorry I have been MIA from the blogging world lately and totally missed the pre-surgery prayer request..so sorry...she is, however, on my prayer list now...post surgery and for no more ear infections!! So sorry she had the surgery, but I know you are thrilled to have it behind you...wish I went to your pediatrician b/c mine waits until the 6th ear infection or more to do tubes! Hope y'all have the merriest Christmas! We need to get together soon-Hayes is growing so much-such a beautiful little lady!
Amy....I didn't know she was getting tubes. Glad everything went well!! Hope to see y'all in Dothan next week!
Amy, I am so glad to hear everything went well. I got your very sweet message the other night and I am sorry I have not called back yet. I will definitely pass on the message about the customer service rep - thanks for letting me know. I hope Hayes is back to normal and is getting ready for Christmas. She is so precious and I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas! We need to get together after the holidays - love you! Margaret B.
