Janna's surgery went well. Thank you for all your prayers. We arrived at 8am and then waited in a pre-op room/ area for about an hour. A friend of ours came with us and it was so nice to have her with us. It distracted me enough to pass the time as we waited. Janna liked the clipboard with her paperwork on it as we waited. When the nurse came and was taking some paperwork off, Janna kept saying "mine" and grabbing at the clipboard. It was cute. A little after 9am they took Janna back and after 10 minutes or less the doctor came and told us the surgery went well. She had an ear infection and he said as soon as she is over getting mad she will feel a lot better because all the pressure is gone. He suctioned all the liquid out of her ear. About 5 minutes later they came and got us and said she was awake and wanted mommy. As we walked back to get her most kids were crying but Janna was just whimpering in the nurse's arms. She was coming out of it and weak but good. By the time we got in the car to go home she was happily having a lolly pop and talking. When we got home she was so happy and playful. It was great. Isaac's mom stayed with her while Isaac and I went back to work. Thanks Mom! She slept through the night last night. It took her awhile to get to sleep but that was okay. We are now putting drops in her ears for a couple days and she is so good at turning her head and let us do it.
It was overall a good experience and I was worried to no reason. The hardest part was handing her over to the nurse to take her back. I am so thankful that all went well and look forward to a happier monster with few ear infections.
