Haley's surgery

Well over all it went alright. I knew right away that something was wrong. It took way longer then it should have and when Dr. Mimms came out to talk to us he took us to a consulation room. He has NEVER done that before. He told us that her right ear drum is too thin to get a ear tube to stay in, and not to be surprised if in the future she has to have recontructive surgery for that drum. Not something I even want to think about. She also had her tonsilles and adnoids removed this time. We are 3 days out and she is really bouncy back fast. Well with the playing and stuff. she still doesn't want to eat or drink.We keep telling her to drink.She wants to go outside so bad and every time the other kids go out she cries and says it is not fair. I feel so bad for her.
When we were doing the pre-op stuff she was cracking us up. They gave her some meds to help calm her down and when they really took affect her head was bobbing and eyes were rolling.She had a pulse ox thing on her finger and it turns your finger red. She finally laid down and was fasinated with her red finger. She was moving it all around real slow watching it. You could tell she was really druged up.
Jessie and I went to wal-mart on Friday the day after h er surgery and on the way home I stoped at Mcdonalds to get her a milkshake and Jessie asked if she could have her tonsilles removed. I told her no and that it was painful. She asked how painful and I told her they are cutting in your throught how bad do you think? She told me I don't know so I passed on the info that her grandmother had it done at 17 and it was very painful. So she changed her mind but asked if we could pretend she had it done and baby her like that. I had to laugh and then told her no.
