Cassidy's surgery went well. Our little girl was hilarious after they gave her the sedative before taking her off to surgery. We told her they were going to give her some "goofy juice" to make her feel funny. I asked how long it would take to work and the nurse said about 10 minutes. Within 2 minutes of the nurse leaving the room, Cassidy started roaring like a lion and thought it was the funniest thing ever.... Jeff and I thought it pretty funny too. I wish I had it on video for all of you to see, but we didn't have the camera with us.
The procedure went well, and the toughest part of the day was when Cassidy woke up post surgery but was still to groggy to console. She was PISSED and ripped the pulse monitor and oxygen monitor off, and made a really good attempt at the IV before we had to pin her arms to her side. Once we got her to drink some juice and got the IV out, she fell asleep in Daddy's arms, slept the whole way home and for a couple hours after that. When she woke up, she ate some ice cream and started jumping up and down.

(No, we didn't lock her in the crate post surgery...
she decided it was great fun to hang out in there with Bilbo who was taking a nap on Baxter's blanket.)
She alternated between sleepy, codeine Cassidy and her normal self for the rest of the day. By Saturday morning, she was her normal self and was off the codeine by Sunday morning.
Unfortunately, she came down with another cold the following week. At her post surgery appointment 3 weeks later, her ears looked great, but she had developed bronchitis again. So we are back to NEB treatments with pulmicort and xopenex 2X each day.
