Big Day and Bronchitis

Big Day:
Emma's big day went pretty well yesterday!  We arrived at the hospital around 9:00 a.m., were admitted to a private room, and after giving her a "downer" medicine at 10, they took her back for surgery around 10:40.  At 11:10 the ENT came in to inform us that the surgery was complete and a success!!!  She'd had some gunky fluid in her ears, and so she's now on Ciprodex eardrops, which she's totally NOT thrilled about, but it's necessary. 

When they brought her back into her room a while later, she was sitting up on the bed, but was very emotional for quite a while (probably the anesthetic wearing off), so some serious cuddling was in order for Mommy, Daddy, and Gma Nenner!  Around 1:20 we were finally cleared for release, and were able to get Emma some much needed grub and come home to chow down!  And let me tell you, this girl at like a grown man (for her, that is!)  She scarfed down fries, a grilled cheese sandwich, half of a corndog, cheese, and some popcorn chicken....a HUGE meal for her! 

She had kind of a hard time settling in last night for bed, and started waking up frequently from 10 p.m.-11:30 p.m., but after switching some blankets around she seemed to finally give in, and slep until 7:15 this morning, which is good for her.  She's been acting normal today, although her stuffy nose is making her a little harder to understand, but I'm sure it'll clear up soon enough!

Bronchitis:
This year Nick and I have had a rough time trying to get rid of illnesses, and I think that we are starting to battle another round of bronchitis here in our house :(  He's not the kind to go to the doctor, so I hope it's just a passing cold, or else he could end up my third baby for a while ;)  (Just joking!)  Just a reminder to keep bundled up, take your vitamins and vitamin C, and get your rest!
