But, we got to the hospital nice and early and she was the first operation on deck... apparently they do the youngest first, which was great for us. They took her temp and checked her out and after only a few minutes and a couple discussions with docs and nurses they took her away (along with Mr. Dinosaur head for moral support). She didn't cry at all when the nurse took her which made it easier (although, a little crying would have been nice for my ego).
Less than ten minutes later the doc was in the waiting room telling us that everything went great and we could join her in recovery soon. A minute later Michele could hear a baby (we hadn't seen any other babies in the joint at that point) screaming bloody murder! A nurse came running out and told us that she really wanted her mommy! We ran back and scooped her up, and she calmed down pretty quickly. We hung out in recovery for about thirty minutes and we were on our way... wow.
Alex took a couple long naps but other than that seemed fine all day. She was happy and playing, and we're pretty sure she can already hear better. She was playing "hands up" and clapping on demand (her newest trick) all day!
Thanks to all for the well wishes. Hopefully this will be the end of the ear infections!!

I am glad that everything went well. I still think she is the cutest little girl in the world.
What a good little patient! I'm glad that it went smoothly and she is feeling well. Poor baby. We send our love.
