Today was the day that Macey got ear tubes. We were up by 5am and left the house at 6am., in order to arrive at the Surgery Center by 6:30am. The check in was quick and easy. The doctor then wouldn't be in until 7:30am. So we waited. Macey was comfortable holding her baby while watching cartoons. There was no IV, no pricks or anything. They would put a mask on her that would allow her to fall asleep quickly but not until she went back to surgery. It was such an easy process. Remember this is still ALL so new to us. No tubes for Taylor or Tanner. I knew when they said the procedure itself would only take 15 minutes it wouldn't be a big deal. Of course, it's always a big deal every time your child has to be put under. That was my only concern. They took her back shortly before 8am and came to get us 20 minutes later. Dr. Baker came to visit with us and told us she has such tiny ear canals and it wasn't easy to get the tubes in but that it was successful. Good news to hear. It wasn't long before we were called back to recovery. She woke up great. The nurses asked if they could keep her. No Way! They brought her to me and I was able to rock her while covered in a warm blanket. Mind you I have been up since 5am, I could have taken a nap. Macey wanted a drink and then went potty. We were gone by 9am. It was quick and easy! Praise God!
We were on our way to McDonald's for a much needed breakfast.
No more procedures for Macey that we know of. She's good to go!
Blessings,
Meghan
