Post Ear Tubes

I took this about 5 minutes after she was back into the room.
 I want to say she was probably still dizzy and confused. 
I must admit, that was the easiest procedure.  Our morning was absolutely flawless.  We arrived five minutes early, in her monkey rompers, eyeballing ever other child with a sippy cup.  She was "hi-ing" everyone she saw.  We were back in our room by 0845.  The nurse arrived, then followed shortly by our ENT doctor, which then we were introduced to the anesetheologist.  She was rolled back by 0930 in her car stroller, honking the horn all the way.   A nurse returned the chart at the door and gave me a smile then stated, "She had no trouble with the mask over her face".  I didn't go into any detail explaing that her dinochicken mask was one of her favorite toys (especially during the winter months).  After about 15 minutes, our doctor arrived and said that everything went perfectly.  They extracted the unwanted tube and was replaced along with a new tube for the other ear.  She was rolled back into the room about five minutes later, a little groggy but very thirsty.  I handed her a cup of apple juice and after about 15 minutes of snuggle time, she was ready to jump off the bed and continue on with her day.  We were in our car by 1020 and home before eleven.   I couldn't of asked for a more successful morning.
