The surgery went well. The doctor said her ears were filled with pus and such, basically still completely infected dispite being on antibiotics since December 1. So there is a ton of drainage from her ears.
Everyone at the surgery center was absolutely wonderful except for the very last nurse we saw in recovery. She informed Ray and I that Audrey had so many ear infections since she was in daycare. I attempted to tell her my older daughter was in daycare as well, and only had one ear infection, but she wasn't listening. I kept my cool since Audrey was crying and I was trying to get her to calm down. She did inform me later she has no kids (go figure) so who cares what she said.
What was very helpful was the drug they gave her about 20 minutes prior to taking her back. It pretty much made her calm and relaxed so that when they wheeled her away, she wasn't screaming. It was almost like she was drunk and it was very cute. We were in the waiting area for all of 10 minutes before the doctor came back out. Total time spent at the surgery center? Two hours.
Have a great weekend everyone...Ray and I are actually going out tomorrow night. We are having dinner at a restaurant that actually takes reservations and then seeing "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" at the Raleigh theater. It has received rave reviews, so it better be good because I do not like the movie as much as Ray does...

Hey there...glad to hear that everything went well!
The puss is gross but it'll stop in a few days. Isaac was the same way - tons of drainage at first and lots of puss and stuff behind the eardrum prior to surgery. I hope you notice a difference soon, she'll be a totally different baby! And that drug they give right before surgery does kind of make them cute doesn't it!
Have a great weekend - enjoy your night out!
Poor baby girl....I'm glad she is doing better. Glad you can get out with your husband.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
Awww, the poor thing actually looks adorable sitting there in her little gown.
I'm glad she did well, and I hope you have a fabulous time out with Ray!!!
I'm so glad everything turned out well! Hopefully, you will notice a difference soon!
Oh have a great time! Hope Audrey feels better soon and can get back to an infection-free life.
And by the way, I went out with Andrew Friday night and enjoyed a trip to Starbucks thanks to you. I'm totally addicted to hot chocolate and they have great stuff there--weird I know, who goes to Starbucks and has hot chocolate, but there you have it. Thanks so much.
