A Speedy Recovery

So Brooke had Ped Tubes put in her ears yesterday after months of a constant double ear infection. I have talked to sooo many people who's children had this procedure and had heard nothing but good things about it. I have to admit I was not expecting such a quick turn around. It was a instant relief for her. Her Doctor said she had so much drainage behind her eardrum that he cleaned out and then put in the tubes. She cried the whole way home from the hospital so I was expecting a rough day, but we got home and the whole family took about an hour nap and she felt like a new kid...she literally covered the whole house corner to corner yesterday. Not only that but she drank all of her bottles out of sippy cups yesterday, I have been working with her but she has seem not interested. The truth is I think it just hurt her to bad to drink out of them, because she is has been drinking them like a champ since. She also slept soooo much better. Chris and I have not slept good in months either so this was a plus to both of us. I have included some pics from yesterday before the surgery and after.
