Perfect patient


Evelyn had her second set of ear tubes placed and an adenoidectomy due to concern for ongoing mild hearing loss. She did great! We were pleased that she adhered without complaint to not eating for hours before the procedure. She was pleasant with her nurses and cooperated with the pre-operative preparation. Evelyn enjoyed the special pajamas she got to wear, the fun toys available for her entertainment, and the juice she was allowed to drink after the surgery was complete. The procedure was quick and we were in and out of the surgery center within 4 hours. Once home, Evelyn lounged around watching movies for a few hours and then was back to her old self... eating, drinking, and playing. She slept well that night and had no complaints of pain. What a trooper.
