So this little Coco bug got tubes put in back in December. I was so nervous and actually cancelled her surgery appointment the month previous. When she then got another ear infection I knew it was time to bite the bullet and get them placed. We have been through this three time before with Porter so I really don't know what I was worried about. I guess that's not entirely true...I was nervous about having them placed here at the military hospital. When we lived in Oklahoma we were able to go off base to whatever doctor accepted our insurance and we had amazing medical care. The only experience we have with military doctors were when we lived in Florida and it was a horrible experience. Well, while we are living here all of our medical care takes place in base and we even have a fully functioning hospital. After meeting with Cora's ENT for a couple months in a row, I knew she would be in good hands.
The morning of the surgery I loaded her up while Rob stayed with the other two and got them off to school. As soon as we arrived to the surgery center, we were greeted and shown to our room. I was so impressed by the staff of nurses and doctors who took special interest in my sweet baby girl. Everyone was so attentive and caring. I was very impressed. She screamed as soon as they took her out of my arms and as soon as the surgery was over, I could hear her screaming for me as she was coming out of anesthesia. I soon held her and sang to her while someone found her favorite blanket. She was soon back to her silly self and watching cartoons in the recovery room. They gave us clearance to go home and she was acting normal by the time she woke up from her afternoon nap. I am so grateful everything went smoothly, and just for the record her ears have been infection free since her surgery. We hope it stays that way.
