Bella's hospital visit

This has nothing to do with Isabella's hospital visit, but I thought it was too cute :) Kade's first experience with McDonald's french fries. He prefers Chick Fil A.

After a visit to the ENT, the doctor didn't think he could remove the gems without putting Bella to sleep. One gem was just barely out of sight, the other was closer but not retrievable without much pain and trauma. :) I ask if we can't just pin her down and wrestle it out........He didn't think so. He sent us to the hospital to be admitted for the afternoon. Joel met me and the 3 of us watched old Bonanza reruns on TV Land until they took Bella back for the operation.

After the procedure, the doctor informed us that Bella tied his record. He discovered 3 gems in her ear, the highest number he has pulled out of toddler's head holes. It only took a few minutes and Bella woke up quickly. She was pampered with popsicles, apple juice and a wheelchair ride, her favorite part of the ordeal. She was pretty loopy the rest of the evening, but not in any pain. She did great!
