Today was a long day...At first, we were told that the surgery was scheduled at 3:45 in the afternoon (which was already so late considering Anaïs had to fast). We arrived at the hospital a little early, around 3:15, and they told us that the surgery should be around 5:20...5:20???? Are you kidding me? At about 4:30, they told us that Dr Park (Anaïs' surgeon) had to do an emergency surgery so we are now scheduled for 6:00...WHAT????? Remember that my poor baby hadn't eaten anything since the night before!
Anyway, long story short she went in at about 6:00 and did wonderful!
Here are the girls hanging out on Nana's front porch today, you would never guess that Anaïs was fasting, she was STILL happy and a joy to be around, what a trooper!
Here she is in the waiting area playing with all the fun toys they have there...one of the many reason why I love the Children's Hospital!
The surgery took about 45 minutes. Right after, she went to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). She is spending the night there, Jeff stayed with her. She is doing well, she is pretty sleepy but does not seem in too much pain. The doctor said that her tonsils were somewhat big and that her adenoids were huge and were obstructing her nose. She also had a lot of fluid in her ears. She really needed this surgery.
We are relieved and hope she feels better very soon. She might get to come home tomorrow if she does well. Thank you again for all the support and love.

That must have been a very long, difficult day for all of you! But what an angel Anais is! So glad that everything went okay, I hope the recovery is smooth as well.

So proud of her! I would sure be cranky if I didn't eat all day. Glad the surgery went well, and I hope she comes home soon!
Glad to hear everything went well. I can't believe she had to fast for so long and wasn't totally unhappy. What a trooper for sure! Keep us posted.
What a trooper...I'm glad it was worth the wait and she did so well. I'm sending you positive vibes for a speedy recovery! I hope Sam was able to enjoy some coloring on the long drive over ;)
She is the cutest....glad to hear she got it done!! Sorry to have waited so long...we had an MRI pushed back 5 hours once and JD was not a happy camper....
Anais is simply adorable...let us know how recovery goes...
Oh Alex-she is so precious even in the PICU. I just want to pick her up and give her hugs! What a trooper-there is no way I could go without food that long. Poor baby! I am hoping she is back to her happy Anais self very soon. Hugs!
6 o'clock...wow. I thought waiting til noon for Aidan was hard but for a child to wait that long is like torture. The surgery was the best for Aidan and this will be a good thing for Anais as well.
Anais is such a trooper!! I'm so glad the surgery went well, and I hope she has a speedy recovery! Adorable pictures, as always!
Wow...I can't believe she did so well for having been fasting for so long. Way to go, Anais! I hope she is now home from the hospital and having a smooth recovery. Hugs to you all!
