These two crazy kids both had to have surgery in the middle of December. Graham was scheduled to get tubes on December 17th. Then, a week or two later, Lucy had to have what's called a "muco-seal" removed from under her tongue. Side note: I had one on the inside of my lip removed in college. When they called to schedule the date for her surgery, they offered the same morning that Graham was going in (same doctor was performing the surgery). Sweet!
They both did great and recovered quickly. Although, Lucy had a painful sore under her tongue that bothered her for quite a while.
Graham seems to be doing better now. The doctor was sure that the fluid in his ears had been there for a really, really long time. Poor guy probably had multiple infections and we didn't know. The last few months prior to his surgery, he would often do this sniffing thing to "make his ears work better". The sniffing would get quite intense. We finally took him to the doctor when we realized he wasn't hearing us very well. He was going through a VERY irritable phase, too. He asked one morning if we would take him to the doctor to see why his ears weren't working. Stellar parents, I know.
