Emerson Hears A Who

Have you ever heard of the book "Horton Hears A Who"? Today, I felt like Horton in that my ears are so cleaned out now that I could hear a Who too if I wanted.

For months now I have been suffering from ear infections and countless trips to the doctor to help me feel better. Mommy swears that our insurance company is loosing money on my doctor visits alone! After a few consultations with the ENT doctor, it was decided that I should get tubes for my ears. So, today was the big day and I'm not going to lie, it was tough not being able to eat this morning :-(. However, we had so much to do in order to prepare for the surgery that I didn't have much time to think about food until I went into recovery.

Dad took some snapshots below to mark the occasion, check em out below.

Love,
Emerson

Here we are getting dressed. Mommy got to go back too in the begining so they gave her an outfit as well.

There was a really nice nurse that helped me check my vitals.

I had a hard time sitting still so it took awhile to get them.

My nurse was so cool that she even let me play with the buttons!

Here I am in the playroom that they have before surgery.


Still waiting........
Trying to plan my escape, the curtains in this place were fun to play with.

Here we are in the recovery room. They even had cartoons on.

I'm sure you'll do better with those tubes in. Best not to wait. Michael had them in and did great afterward. Wish I'd done it sooner.
