It's been a busy week here at the Johnson/Salzwedel house! We dropped Emma & Harper off at my mom's this past Friday for our "adults only weekend." Ok, that sounds bad, but it's truly not!
We left Jackson at about 5:30 on Friday night, stopped for dinner & then drove to Minneapolis...straight thru the unfriendly, tornado filled sky! We were both terrified as the radio kept talking about tornado's being spotted in such & such county & we had no idea which county we were in! We did survive! YA

Saturday, we made it thru Ikea & bought a new desk for Emma to do her homework at. We ventured to the Mall of America & met Eric's brother & his wife!! Paul & Jen..we were so excited to have a weekend with them. We went to an awesome restaurant for dinner and enjoyed sleeping ALL NIGHT LONG two nights in a row!! Eric & I enjoyed some alone time and it was the best Christmas gift ever!:) thanks again, Bethany!
This is Harper today at about 6:30 when we got her to our room for her tubes surgery. We had to be at the hospital at 6:15 this morning, where we were given a Sanford jumpsuit for her surgery. The anestesiologist came up to talk to us and explained what the side effects of the medicine would do & how she would be coming out of it. Turns out, there wasn't even an IV! About 7:35, they came to get her:( The anesthestist took her (she'd fallen asleep) and sat in a wheel chair & a nurse wheeled her away. That was very hard! But by 8:05, the surgeon was back in saying things had gone great & she'd actually gotten another ear infection! No wonder she was awake from 11:15-1 a.m. today!
Harper back from surgery. She was unconsolable, and the doctor's said this is how babies deal with anesthesia, so I guess it's normal!! But so hard, non-the-less!
Harper finally pooped out on the way home! she was SO tired! When we got home, she puked all over daddy (twice) and then slept for 2 1/2 hours!!
All in all, at this point, I feel so much better that it's done and hopefully, she will be done with those horrible infections! They say the tubes last 6 months (ugh, hello???) up to 18 months (that sounds better!), and are hoping for lots of things for our big girl! She has started rolling over & tries to crawl, but can't get the one leg out of the way. I'm hoping now that her equilibrium is better, she will start walking!
Have a good week! we have my grandmother's 90th birthday party this week!! So excited to see some extended family!
