Gracie's Surgery Went Well

Friday morning Gracie, Lance and I woke up super early to take Gracie to the hospital for her surgery. She had ear tubes put in (again) and had her adenoids removed (again). Nana & Paw Paw came in Thursday night so they could stay with Gwyneth while we were at the hospital with Gracie. Thanks you very much Nana & Paw Paw!!! Gracie was such a trooper and did great!! She thought the whole idea of the surgery was pretty neat and actually enjoyed all the stuff leading up to the actual surgery. The doctors and nurses were so great too!! The surgery lasted less than 30 minutes and then it was already time for us to go back and see her. The surgery went off without a hitch. She was still sleeping when we got to see her, but she woke up pretty soon after we went back. She was a little fussy and disoriented when she first woke up but was such a big girl and did everything that the nurses asked her to do. She was released to go home at 9:30 am. She came home and rested and was treated like a queen for the day. Thank you to everyone who kept Gracie in their thoughts and prayers. She hasn't complained about any discomfort at all...Thanks be to God!!!

I didn't want to take too many pictures, but still wanted some for her to look back at someday, so here is what I got...
