Tessa had tubes put in her ears yesterday and did GREAT. She was such a trooper. We had to be at the hospital at 6:00am and she couldn't eat or have formula after midnight. She could have clear liquids up to two hours before surgey. She woke up at 1:30am Monday morning and I gave her some water and juice. As you can imagine she was a little hungry Monday morning.
Once we got into the pre-op room, Omi and I tried to entertain her as much as possible. We did a lot of singing, which she enjoys and it kept her calm. She loves it when Omi sings "The Wheels on the Bus" and "Backe Backe Kuchen" (German version of Patty Cake). I did cry when they took her back, but less than 15 mins later the Doctor was back and said everything went great and about 5 mins later we heard her crying back down the hallway. It all went very quick.
We were back at the house by 8:30am and after she finally got some breakfast she was back to her normal self, chasing the cats around the house and playing with her ball.
****Developmental Update********
She can now "say" more in sign language and blow kisses. It's very cute and as soon as I can capture it on video I will post it.

I know that had to be hard. I hope we never have to do that. I am very glad she did so well and is happy and running around now.
