Update on Gabriela

As Gabriela puts it....she survived! Whew :) Yes, Gabriela came through her surgery with flying colors. She was extremely apprehensive about her surgery. As she was being wheeled into the operating room, she said, "Now, Dr. Rainey, I've never had surgery before. Can you go over this with me again?" Gotta love it! Quite the inquisitive child.

She did have a pretty severe ear infection in her middle ear, so they were able to clean everything out really well, put the tubes in and take out her Adenoids. Her tonsils are still in tact.

I stopped by to see her last night and while she looked a little pale and red-eyed, she was in good spirits ~ just complaining about a sore throat. She was tired of resting, though. When I came to the door, she sheepishly asked....why are you here, CC? As IF she didn't know?! :) Immediately she asked, "where are you going when you leave here?" (Which is her classic way of asking if she can go shopping with me) The girl just had surgery and she wants to go shopping....oh dear!

I stopped by today and she informed me that she is "all better", so she didn't think that she should have to have the drops put in her ears. She is literally counting the days until she doesn't have to use them (which is Sunday); apparently, they are somewhat painful. She will return to school on Friday ~ better than ever.

Thanks to all for your prayers!
