Surgery update

Lexi Kate had her tubes put in today, and her adenoids taken out. We were at Baptist hospital dark and early this morning in our PJ's. They took us back about 7:30 to get started, and rolled Lexi Kate back to surgery around 8:15. We were so blessed to have a friend of ours as her nurse to keep us informed with what was going on. We met with Dr. Crook after the surgery and he said everything was a success. Lexi Kate woke up from anesthesia around 9:15. She reacts much the same way I do... crying for no reason. We finally convinced the recovery nurse that she wasn't in any pain, and to take the IV out. Once we got the IV out, Lexi Kate was much happier. She was still crying as we left, but getting better. She did get sick on the way home, but has recovered well this afternoon. She took a 2 hour nap about 3:00. Around 5:45, she was officially back to her old self. She was jumping on the bed while I was trying to fold laundry and dumping all her toys out on the floor. LK has eaten well today considering she had her throat operated on. She had 2 popsicles and 2 pieces of bread for lunch (I know not the most nutrious meal ever, but I figured if she would eat it I didn't really care.); we had fruit snacks and graham crackers for afternoon snack; and hamburger and fries for dinner. We do have to do another round of amoxicillin because she still had an ear infection when we went in today. We just hope we can get through the next 10 days of forcing drugs down.... our ENT follow up is December 12.
