Avery's Surgery Day

It seems like every year, mommy and daddy make a trip to Children's Hospital for one of us kids!  It was Avery's turn this time.  Since October, she has had multiple ear infections and constant congestion.  While part of it is due to reflux, there was greater concern that the constant fluid in her ears was causing hearing loss.  Since Jaden and I both have had tubes, mommy and daddy didn't waste time deciding what to do.  Avery's ENT thought it was best to put tubes in and to put them in sooner rather than later. 
Avery was such a good sport.  She had a lot of waiting time before surgery when she couldn't eat and investigate her surroundings.  Mommy was super duper nervous about Avery picking up hospital germs so she didn't want her touching the toys, crawling around or putting things in her mouth.  This was not an easy task for our active, inquisitive little Avery.  Overall, surgery went well and Avery was released soon after!  Let's hope she heals and can begin flushing fluid through her ears rather than it sit in them!

Post Surgery:  She sucked down two little bottles of apple juice, was a bit groggy and cranky but fell asleep on the way home. Once home, she slept for several hours and woke up with a smile.  We love our princess Avery!
