Lilly can finally hear again!

I took Lilly to Primary Children's Medical Center yesterday to have tubes put in her ears. She did really well and I could already tell a big difference today in her hearing. She kept repeating new sounds that were probably too subtle for her to hear before, like "sss" and "thh" sounds. I was also talking to her and said something about her eye and she started repeating "eye". It took a few tries, but pretty soon she was saying it as clear as a bell.
I got a few pictures of her in pre-op in her little care-bear hospital gown. It was really cute in the pre-op waiting area, there were about 7 little toddlers her age all running around in their matching gowns with their diapers hanging out the back and playing with all the toys they had set up for them. She never cried when she woke up from the surgery and she slept most of the day yesterday. Today she has just been her crazy little self getting into things. One of her favorite activities is to grab a phone or a remote control and wait for someone to notice, then start running as fast she can to get away, laughing all the while. She is such a fun little gal!

Yay! We're glad that all went well and that Lilly is doing so good. NOw that she can hear I bet she'll be talking in no time. It's amazing how quick kids learn.
