Surgery Day!! Samantha

Surgery Day is finally here, Samantha and Mommy got to the hospital at 6AM. Samantha got to wear hospital purple pajamas. Samantha was getting her adenoids out and tubes put in her ears, she has had alot of ear infections.



She was having fun getting ready for surgery.





Samantha was not happy when she woke up from surgery and Daddy did his best to comfort her. The Dr. discovered Samantha had an ear infection when she went into put the tubes in. But the Dr. assured me the tubes were able to go in and should help her feel 100% better.





Finally she was resting. But the resting did not last long.

Look at the poor little arm with IVs in it. :(

Mommy and Samantha. :)

She had a cool toy in her room, but got bored with it quickly.

She liked walking around and around the hallway of the unit we were in. We test drove a cozy coupe for 1 lap.

We found the Cozy Coup in this little playroom that had a fish and other Cozy coups, also it had a small door just Samantha's size. :)

Walking around and around was fun for Samantha, she likes these mirrors, we called them bubble mirrors.

Most of those laps were Mom carrying her until a very nice nurse got us a wagon, I pulled her around in a cricle for over an hour. Before the wagon I carried her wround that circle for at least a half an hour.

We sang songs and blew some bubbles, and finally after fussing for an hour Samantha went to sleep at 10:30PM.

She was woken up by a monitor going off and had to get her IV taken out at 7AM, luckily she was being released. At 8:30AM we headed home and Samantha is a little sore, but doing well. She has to take it easy for a week.

Thanks for the prayers and for peeking in. :)

Prayers Please!!

Please send some prayers Samantha's way, she will be following in her 2 big sisters footsteps and will be getting her adenoids removed on Friday, thankfully her tonsils are tiny so they are staying in. Samantha will also be getting tubes in her ears, she has had quite a few ear infections this past year. My first kid to get tubes and the first one to get only adenoids out. From what I understand this recovery will be much easier than when the tonsils come out, but since she was a preemie the Dr. wants her to have an overnight stay, so Samantha and Mom are going to have an overnight at the hospital.





Please pray for a quick easy recovery. And no surprises during the surgery.



Thanks for peeking in!!

Surgery Day!! Olivia.

Olivia had her tonsilectomy and adenoidectomy on Friday October 23rd. We had to get there bright and early by 6:45AM. Which means we left at 5:45AM. Olivia was the first surgery of the day at 8:15AM.

Here she is so tired but waiting patiently in the waiting room.



She enjoyed riding on this car up and down the hallway, to pass time as we waited for surgery also.

Look how tired I (Mom) am. WOW. Olivia took this picture of me. I was ready to go hold her while she breathed in her special bubble gum air and went to sleep for surgery.

We drew a picture while we waited too.

OK this is gross but we took a picture of those giant tonsils. All out. :)

Olivia enjoying a snuggle with Grandma. Mom went and enjoyed some food with Papa Ed and Grandma sat with Olivia.



Resting nicely, we got to stay overnight in the hospital . It was a long night.

Thanks to everyone who sent prayers our way.
