Two tubes and two firsts


Katie is resting peacefully tonight after her ear tube surgery at Children's this morning. She wasn't as fussy as I expected she'd be after fasting from about 7 p.m. yesterday to 11 a.m. today. She charmed many of the nurses and doctors with her toddling, clapping and talking (mostly "Hi" and "Bye").

When I visited her in the recovery room, she was drowsily chomping on a rainbow popsicle -- her first ever. Within the next 30 minutes, she devoured two more. Then she ate strawberry gelatin -- another first.

She slept at home most of the afternoon, woke up for dinner and some playtime, and is asleep again. If she's like her brother, we're done with ear infections for a while.

Hope little Katie is still recovering well. Give her a big hug and kiss from us!
