Doing Great!

Just wanted to let you know that Kaia's Myringoplasty surgery went well. We won't know the impact on her hearing until we go back in March, but everything seemed to be successful. The left ear drum was repaired, and the right had no hole at all! When I told the anesthesiologist of her nausea on the car ride home in September he said he would give her medication to help with that this time. Whatever he gave her seemed to work, and despite leaving the Seattle hospital at 5:00 pm on a Friday night, we made it home with no trouble. Once again she needed no pain medication!

I haven't been totally clear of nursing duty this weekend though, as Mike came home from his wrestling tournament last night with the flu. He has a fever, chills and aches....you know he's sick if he has already arranged for his morning and afternoon practices to be covered tomorrow, as well as called a sub. Thank goodness the girls and I got our influenza shots this past Fall. Now to just keep the boys away from it!
