ToNsiLs OUT- TubEs iN AGAIN!!!

Tessa had her tonsils and adenoids out and tubes put in for the 2nd time. The poor little girl is always sick. She never complains about it and I usually don't even know she has an ear infection. The doc decided it was time to take her tonsils out and put tubes back in. I was totally freaking out about this surgery. Tessa is only 22 months old. She is way too young to have this done!!! I was way nervous about the surgery but it went great.

Tessa was really excited to sit in a chair all by herself.

Tessa could not wait to get in the crib. She wanted to go for a ride. She keep telling me 'bye'. There were no tears from Tessa when they took her to surgery. It made it easier for us to let her leave but I still shed a few tears.

The surgery went very well but Tessa had a really, really, really hard time coming out the the anesthesia. She was like some wild, crazy child. She was screaming and crying for 1 1/2 hours. They had to give her something in her IV to calm her down. The medicine that calmed her down made her oxygen level go down so she needed some oxygen. She thought the mask was really fun to hold up to her nose. She like the air that was blowing out.

Tessa thought the remote to the TV was a phone. She held it up to her ear for hours. She loved eating all of the Popsicles she wanted.

We took Tessa on a wagon ride outside to see the pond.

Tessa did so great that we were able to come home later the same day. The doctor told us we would probably have to stay over night. I was not looking forward to it so I was so excited when they let us leave. Her recovery was super easy. She loved eating ice cream and Popsicles. Hopefully now Tessa will stay healthy and start sleeping better.
