Anabelle's tubes in...

Yesterday was the day. Anabelle got tubes in her ears and did great! It was very fast and easy and I'm glad it's behind us. We had to be there at 6:45am (fun with an 11 month old who can't eat before the surgery) and we were home by 9:00. She was such a good baby all morning! She got a little fussy (I'm guessing hungry too!) about 20 minutes before they took her and they gave her some drops in her nose to sedate her. This was also to help when they had to take her from us so the separation wouldn't get her all worked up. Within 4 minutes of getting the drops she was loopy- looking at her hands and feet as if she'd never seen them before, laughing at everything- it was kinda sad but really funny too! Josh tried to buy a case of the nose drops to keep at home (kidding!) Anyway, we handed her over and about 10 minutes later they called us in saying she was done. The anesthesia was starting to wear off by the time we saw her afterwards and she was very groggy but not upset at all. She really didn't cry at all through the whole ordeal. By yesterday afternoon she was completely back to normal and was playing with Sarabeth like nothing ever happened. Thank you all for your prayers. We're so thankful!
