What a long day it was and my nerves are just shot!
Our Lil Lulu made it through surgery with no complications, however her entire ear canals have been removed from both ears and she will be totally deaf, but her ears were so bad to begin with that the the specialist was 98% sure she could not hear anyway so nothing was really lost in her case. She did have trouble coming out of the anesthesia and staying awake due to the length of time being under and started to have some breathing issues so our Lil Lulu was transported to the ER hospital where she will spend the night for monitoring and pain management. She will not be able to come home til I am confident that she is ok and her pain is controllable by pill form, the last thing I want is for her to be in extreme pain.
This is such a horrific surgery and one we do not just do because of the pain involved but in order for Lil Lulu to be pain free the rest of her life it had to be done as the pro's out-weighed the con's in her situation and even though she is deaf she is an amazing lil girl and deserves a happy and healthy life too.
Please check back to see how Lil Lulu is doing, I will be posting photo's soon, in the mean time please consider donating to her surgery fund as this was a very expensive surgery.
Thanks for sending positive vibes Lulu's way!

my friend Kodie, this must have given you the nightmares of Princess from last year. Hearing isn't all it is cracked up to be, just ask Violet. Hope you are all doing well.
