Surgery!





April was a busy month for us.  We moved from our house to my mom's house (temporarily) and then two of my girls had surgery!!  Talk about crazy!  Makenna went first and had ear tubes put in.  She had fluid blocking her ears and wasn't hearing well.  Because of this, Kenna has had a delay in speech but she is coming along now.  The surgery was a breeze!  From the time she left my arms to the time I was able to hold her again was about 10 minutes.  She fussed for a little while and then was good from there on out.  Maddie's surgery wasn't quite as easy.  She needed to have her tonsils out although it wasn't due to throat infections.  She had extremely large tonsils that were affecting her teeth and her sleep.  I had never heard of it before but it has helped a lot having them out.  The surgery took about one hour and then we had to stay the night in the hospital to make sure she didn't get dehydrated.  Maddie was a trooper the whole week and she hardly ever complained about the pain.  The only problem was getting her to eat and drink but we managed.  So glad to have it all over with and have my girls healthy!!
