Lainey gets ear tubes

Lainey got ear tubes!  This is a picture of her in pre-op.  She was not sure about the new clothes they gave her.  The socks were extra huge on  her tiny feet!  We all enjoyed our pre op stay as our friends the Schroeter's were there too awaiting ear tube surgery for Catherine.  Some of you may remember Catherine's blog.  The Schroeter's went to Henan in late fall to get Catherine.  She is from the same province as Lainey and they used the same adoption agency that we did- small world!  The girls enjoyed the stay by playing with the new toys the hospital gave them and watching the nurses go by.  The parents enjoyed the time to talk about China and tell stories!    Lainey did great with the surgery and just needed to sleep off the anesthesia.  She was fine after an unplanned 3 hour nap!  She woke up ready to play and eat.  The tubes seemed to have helped with drooling and runny nose.  We go back next week to recheck her hearing and make sure the tubes are still in place and free of fluid.  The doctor did a culture on the fluid that was drained.  I laughed and told him the only thing he would find is China pollution.  :)

We are enjoying every moment with our little girl!  More to follow........
Christina, Scott and Lainey
