Emma Tubes

Emma had tubes put in on Feb. 9th. Yea, it was a while ago, but I'm way behind on my familia postings.
Anyway..
She did great. I was hesitant and first about the procedure, but 2 weeks later her speech and babbling has picked up. Yesterday she even said " I - et " (Wyatt) FINALLY! That other kid in the house has a name!
Before the procedure they gave her a little "happy juice" that made her pretty lucid. Like a really good ecstasy trip ( of course I don't personally know what a good ecstasy trip is like... of course.....) Um. Yea. So. They gave her this stuff and within a few minutes she started staring at the TV screen cartoons and then took her bear and blanket and then the hospitals bear and blanket, stuffed them under her belly and started rolling around the bed. It was so funny. Then every few seconds, she'd stop to stare at the cartoons again, then resume rolling all over the bears and blankets.
When the anesthesiologist came in to take her, Wyatt followed the man out, looked back at Randy and I and said "WHERE!..... ARE.... THEY TAKING.....MY SISTER!?!" He was really mad. We explained, he calmed down and we started to walk out of the holding room and into the lobby... Wyatt yelled "WE CAN'T LEAVE WITHOUT MY SISTER!"
Man, he was little worrier.
The procedure didn't hurt, and she was her old self within a few hours.
