Ryleigh is a real trooper

This is late posting, but here is the update on Ryleigh's ears.

She had tubes put in on Friday the 14th. She did GREAT!! We were so proud of her. They took us back to the room and had us put some yellow pj's on her and they hooked her up the blood pressure cuff and the monitors that go on her chest. I thought for sure she would cry, but she didn't. She sat on Grammy's lap as they hooked her all up and she just watched them. They got all of her vitals and the surgeon, nurses and the anesthetic team all came in and explained everything to us. The nurses carried her down to the operating room. I watched her as far I could see and she never once cried or panicked in any way, she just looked around. The procedure took about 10 minutes and the doctor came to tell us that she did wonderful. She never did cry, when they put the gas on her she fussed a little bit and played with the mask and then fell asleep. After a few minutes in recovery they brought her back to us. She was still really groggy, but wasn't crying and doing really good. After awhile she did start crying like they said she would and it lasted about 30-40 minutes. About half way home, she stopped crying and just sat there. Once we got home, it took her a few minutes to come around. She ate something and then just hung out while we packed the car for the weekend. She slept almost the entire way up north and did great all weekend. We were so very proud of her!!!!!

She did start running a fever again on Sunday, so Monday I took her to the doctor, but they couldn't find anything viral. They ran some blood work to check for anemia and any bacteria infection. The results came back normal. One of them did show some inflammation, but not enough to be concerned about a bacterial infection. Her doctor seems to think that once her body doesn't have to fight off constant ear infections that she will start feeling better.

All we have to do now is get her sleeping in her bed again!!!!!!
