Paige's Eye Surgery

Here are some pictures from Paige's surgery today for her clogged tear ducts (in chronological order). We had to wait for 2 hours before she finally went in, and that was really hard because she was really tired and hungry. She was not allowed to eat beforehand because of the anesthesia. There were some fun toys in the waiting area though, so it wasn't too bad. When they finally took her away to the operating room we decided to run down to the cafeteria to get some breakfast real quick. As we were finishing up, we heard an announcement on the intercom: "Will the parents of Paige please call the operator." I was kind of freaking out because I thought something was wrong, but it turned out that she was done and they were looking for us. I felt like a neglectful parent! As we came into the recovery room, I could hear Paige crying a little bit and she was just waking up from the anesthesia. She was looking all over for us and all she could see was strangers. Then she saw me and reached for me to pick her up, but I couldn't because she was hooked up to some monitors. She had bloody tears running down her face and she looked so sad. But I was able to nurse her right away, and then everything was fine. We're home now and she is asleep. I think she will sleep a lot today. We're just really hoping the surgery was a success and her ducts will stay open.
