Surgery

Cassidy had her tonsils, adenoid removed and then had tubes put in her ears in August. We finally went and saw an ear, throat and nose doctor in July and he said that hers were so bad that it could of been the cause of why she was so sick last winter. So we scheduled the surgery and waited. When the day finally came it was a little scary for me. To have your 2 year old have surgery isn't the funnest thing but I knew it had to be done. We had to be at the hospital at 7:15 am which was nice. The whole surgery only lasted about 35 mins but then when she came out they took her start to the pediatrics unit. We meet them in the hall and Cass was freaking out. She had a hard time waking up and her oxygen was low for about an hour. Once she finally got some pain meds she calmed down and started to eat some Popsicles. Then her oxygen went up. We were there for about 5 hours total and we didn't even get to talk to the dr after the surgery. Which made us mad. So a week later she had a check up and he told us that they were a 3+ and was blocking about 75% of her airways. Then when he cleaned out her ears to put the tubes in he said there was a lot of fluids and was surprised that she could hear as good as she does. So all and all she did great and now is doing great. She feels so much better. I hope this winter will go better than the last one.


In the waiting room, waiting to go back and get ready for the surgery. We got back there and Cass loved the outfit they gave her, they even let her bring it home.

After surgery she wasn't feeling so great she just wanted us to lay by her and not leave her sight. Which I don't blame her.

She was finally doing better and was ready to leave but they wouldn't let us. They were so nice to us on the peds unit. They gave her so many things to play with. They ended up giving her a Tu Tu and a magic wand that matched.
