Bye bye Adenoids, Hello Tubes

Finally after 8 years give or take, Morgan is finally on her way to being a normally healthy kid.
Here is where the " mommy guilt" comes into play. After all these years of stuffiness, coughing, not sleeping, Not being able to breathe through her nose EVER, to teeth being messed up from " tongue thrust' we all assumed it was all due to allergies. YES Morgan does have allergies, but apparently they are NOT as bad as we all thought. After ear infection after ear infection we FINALLY went to see an ENT who decided to remove the dreaded adenoids and insert tubes.
Morgan is one brave girl, and mommy tried super hard to put on a brave face, YES I know adenoid removal and tube insertion is NOT a big deal.. But when its your baby on the table, and they have to be put under anesthesia Mommy's tend to worry.
The big day was last Friday June 17, the day after Morgan finished up 2nd grade, we went to the
surgery center in Murrieta and waited. Finally it was her turn and Joe and I were able to go in the back with her, Now I was up ALL night, just worrying. My biggest worry was not being able to be with her when they put her to sleep, I was so worried about them wheeling her away crying.
Well my fear did come true, and I'm pretty sure it was a lot worse for me then it was for her, but having her grab on to me and cry as they wheeled her away just sucked!
The surgery itself lasted no more then 30 min, I was there when she woke up and she was fine of course. By the next day Morgan was back to normal, well actually WAY BETTER then normal, she CAN HEAR! seriously we had NO idea she was not hearing well. There was so much fluid in her ears, that all those " huhs" were real!! Joe and I were always saying " don't say huh". Right now everything is a lot louder for her, and it will take some getting used to. She's already breathing through her nose, she's NOT snoring. You would think that I would sleep better not hearing her snore down the hall, but I don't, at least not right now, I'm so used to " hearing" her breathe, that now NOT hearing her breathe makes me worry.
