Kaitrin's Surgery

This is Kaitrin in the recovery room after her adnoids were removed and her ears would tubed. As the nurse took her blood pressure and the cuff began to tighten, she screamed, "I'm stuck! Help!" She loved her mask - it smelled like bananas - she even put it on her stuffed animals. She was a pretty happy camper before the surgery, but afterwards she was throwing punches. They gave her an extra sedative which made her a little cranky as we tried to wake her up. Now, she is her old self and talking so much better than before the surgery - her speech therapist will be pleased.
