the tubes are in!

We had to take Amelia for tubes this morning. We had to be there by 6:30 -- The surgery center in Rutherford. They were very kind and gentle. They saw that she was upset when they were taking her vitals and all, so they got a portable DVD player and put on Barney. She was good! :-)

When it came time to go into the operating room, they let me go in with her. She didn't want to lay down on the table, so the anesthesiologist let me sit and hold her, then he put the mask on her, and she was out in no time. Then we transferred her to the table.

It was literally 15 minutes and they were getting us. She was VERY upset when we saw her in the recovery room. They said that when she woke up, its like she's uncomfortable in her own skin. There is no pain, but its an uncomfortable feeling. She was upset until we got home. She watched Barney and relaxed.

She is now sound asleep.When she wakes up I'm sure she'll be starving. She didn't want to eat anything when we got home. I think she just needs to sleep it off. Hopefully after a good night's sleep she'll be good as new tomorrow.
