Everything went well. Dr. Brown said that Will's left ear was full of gunk that was under a lot of pressure, so he cleaned that out before putting the tubes in. John's weren't as bad, interestingly (since he's had more ear infections than Will).
Will and Mommy post-op...about 20 minutes into recovery. Just about normal...
John and Daddy post-op...about 5 minutes into recovery. Not yet normal. John chugged two full sippies of diluted apple juice. Check out his awesome hospital-issue, no-slip toddler socks and hospital gown. You can't see it in this picture, but each boy had a big piece of tape across the front of his gown that had his name and either #1 (Will) or #2 (John) written on it. Pretty funny.
We were home by 8:30, complete with a fun Chick-Fil-A breakfast. They were back to their normal precocious selves by lunchtime. Naps today were a lot better than expected, especially with recovery on top of new big boy beds. So far tonight, not too many struggles!
Here's hoping and praying that our struggles with illnesses are ancient history!

Hey Becky! I'm sorry to hear that you guys have had so many trials with illness, but hopefully the tubes will help. I'm glad that the procedure went well for both boys. Clyde had to have his tear ducts surgically opened from a blockage when he was about 8 months, and I remember how worried I was before he went in for it, so I can't imagine having 2 babies going under on the same day!
I don't know if you heard, but we just had our second, Lexie, at the end of September. We are doing well, and she's sleeping much better than Clyde did, so I'm thankful for that.
It's great to have your blog to keep up with what you're up to! I haven't been keeping mine up to date since I joined facebook.
