Lyla's Surgery

I never get to write on the blog because Sadie usually takes control, but today is a special day for me because I am having surgery. I have to get my adenoids out and new tubes put in my ears. I have had so many ear infections that they are hoping this does the trick and I will gain my full hearing back and have less infections. We had to get up early this morning and to my disappointment not have anything to eat or drink. I wanted a cup sooo bad and my mom and dad just kept informing me that it wasn't going to happen. We took Sadie to Julie's and off we went to Ridgefield to have my surgery. We arrived and I was so calm. The nurses were so nice to me and made me feel comfortable. Thankfully they waited till I was asleep before they put the IV in me. My mom was relieved to hear that. The doctors came in and off I went with the nurse to the operating room. As I left mom, the nurses were singing "Rudolph" for me and I was relaxed to go on beyond the doors.

About 45 minutes later, the doctors came out to tell mom and dad I did great! I was so happy to see them and cried out to mom while the nurse handed me over! We stayed for about 1 hour after the surgery and I had popsicles and juice. I was doing so well they let me go home. I ate some McDonald's for lunch and played with Sadie. I think I am feeling pretty well considering what I went through today. I have to get better for Santa's arrival!

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I felt very special today!
