oh, those ears part 2

the procedure was a success. unfortunately, the tubes are now part of our daughter's anatomy! doc said that ally's ears were pretty bad from past ear infections and he firmly feels that she will be much happier now that she can hear clearly after all this time.

she did very well all day holding out without food and having no nap, but it did catch up with us all following surgery when she had a 45 minute meltdown. i mean the full deal...screaming, kicking, log rolling around, crying. it was pitiful. she didn't want either keith or i to touch her, it was very had not being able to console her but we both gave her a few feet of distance until the drugs wore off. she finally just snapped out of it and was back to being ally. shortly thereafter, she ate entire plate of egg noodles (her favorite).

needless to say it was a long, draining day for everyone. i decided that if ally couldn't eat, then mommy really couldn't either, so i think the effects of that were kicking in during the 45 minute melt down for us both - talk about a head ache - geeze. i celebrated with some much needed caffiene :)

i did manage to get us to enjoy the beautiful weather by planning a play date with karyn and the kids. it was nice and i have couple good pictures to share of ally playing with jadyn before surgery. they are like little mini-me's...it is so weird how alike they are.

thanks again for all the support and prayers for our family. they are so very kind and much appreciated. i am hoping the pay-off is HUGE now that ally's ears are fluid-free!
