Tubes

Haven has had several ear infections and we felt like she was having some hearing and speech issues, so we took her to an ENT. 
He and the audiologist confirmed that she needed ear tubes.
We knew it would be a simple and quick procedure, but it requires anesthesia, so we were a little concerned.
We are thankful that everything went well and now she seems to hear better and be talking more!
She was having so much fun playing in the waiting area at 6 in the morning.  I felt kinda bad that she had no clue what was about to happen.

 
I thought she looked to cute in the little hospital gown.
 
She was sweet to cuddle with while we waited for her to go to the operating room.  They gave her some gas a few minutes before they took her back and she was randomly saying bye-bye and waving which had us cracking up.
 
She was pretty mad as she was coming out of anesthesia and inconsolable for about an hour.  
This Popsicle helped a little.  
At one point a nurse was trying to put an oxygen sensor on Haven's toe and she was not having it.  The nurse finally said "oh forget it, obviously she is getting enough oxygen".  
After she was able to get home to eat and nap, she was back to her normal self.
