Fix my ears time

Here I go. Time for a ride on the bed with wheels....

Ear tubes on my heart day

It’s been 6 years today since Dr. F fixed up my little tiny heart.  I don’t remember it, and Mommy thinks that’s a good thing.  Here’s what Mommy wrote about it last year… there’s pictures there. (Don’t cry Grandma C. I’m ok now, ‘member??)

Today, I will remember what I have to do, though. I have to go get my ears fixed so they will quit keeping water and stuff in there when they should let it out.  So I’m getting new tubes in there.  We have to be there WAY early, that’s why I’m up before the sun.

I don’t like to go to the hospital, but I’ll try to be good.  Kinlee got to go to Grandma C’s house for a sleepover tonight, and I don’t think that’s fair. Mommy says I can take a turn one day soon.

I’ll let you know how it goes today.  I’m used to going to sleep at the hospital while they fix things like my eyes and my ears and my heart and some stuff in my throat. I told Mommy that I just want to stay home. But she said not this time. 

I hope they don’t give me that stuff that makes me feel all droopy after I wake up. But I bet they will.  Mommy says it’s better that way, but it’s no fun to feel like that.  If you want to say some prayers that I will wake up in a happy mood, that would be nice of you.

Better evening

It's been a nice evening. I haven't felt so icky tonight. Mommy has made me a bundled up place to lay so that I'm comfy on my back, so I don't mind it so much. Auntie Rachel and Mr. Patrick came by to see me, and Auntie Rachel brought me a pink panda! She has brought me a different kind of panda every time I've been in the hospital, so I have three of them now. Thanks Auntie Rachel!

Then Grandma C and Grandpa John came to see me too.

I showed them how I can play with some of my toys a little and I got to watch Baby Mozart again, which was fun. I decided that I'm gonna kick my foot like I always do even though it has a big thing on it and a tube in it. Mommy says that is there so they can give me medicines if they need to, but since they're not using it, I decided I'm just gonna kick it off. I'm trying hard, too!

I just had another feeding at 10 o'clock, and now it's time for bed. Mommy's especially tired, so I'm going to try to sleep all night like a good girl so she can rest too. She told me that they'll come in to clean my thing while I sleep, but I hope they don't wake me up. G'night!
