Camryn had her pre-op appointment with her pediatrician just 2 days after getting over her stomach bug but they said she was doing well and was cleared for surgery, Thursday, January 29th.
We had Camryn's stomach bug, Maddy's high fever and ear infection, followed by Camryn's tubes...it made for a busy week!
The morning of Camryn's procedure she couldn't have breakfast so despite being a little mad at us for that and hungry she was in good spirits! She hugged the dogs good-bye like she always does and posed for a picture for me, with her ziploc baggie of "diamonds" (little craft gems) and her doggie and we left to drop Maddy at school.
The sky looked beautiful as we dropped Maddy off that morning so I got a quick picture!
Camryn showing me her "diamonds"...while still begging for oatmeal.
The only time Camryn cried during the whole process was when we made her take off her sundress.
We went back and they put a mask on her, she fell asleep, and literally 5 minutes later the doctor met up with us to tell us she did great, tons of fluid came out when they put in the tubes, she was on drops and an oral medications to help with the inflammation due to all that fluid and we were told we'd meet up with her in recovery. When the nurse came to get us we went back to the recovery area and the nurse was talking about how Camryn was her little angel. She didn't fuss at all coming out of anesthesia and she was just eating crackers, having some juice, and watching Disney Jr.
We had to hang out for 30 minutes so she chowed down on a couple packages of crackers and got 2 Popsicles and we were on our way.
Back at home she was good as new, back in her dress, with a giant slice of pizza, a tiara, and Sofia on tv. You would have never known she had anything done! She was so brave and wonderful during the whole thing and we're so proud of her! We've already started to notice an improvement in her speaking since all that fluid has been gone from her ears.
