Andrew had his bilateral myringotomy today, which is a fancy way of saying he had tubes put in both ears. He had been having chronic ear infections that never completely cleared up with the assistance of antibiotics so the doctor recommended surgical intervention.
After a few weeks we finally got on the OR schedule for this morning at 6AM so the whole family got up with the sun and headed to the hospital. After waiting and little more waiting Andrew finally got in the operating room and was out within 20-30 minutes. All went well and within an hour we headed home. Andrew was of course starving since he had been fasting under Dr's orders as were the rest of us since we rushed out the door. Kathleen spent the rest of the day at home with A and E to make sure everything was normal, which it was, so we'll see how things go from here.
On a unrelated note I have a total of 15 gallons of beer on tap and another 10 gallons fermenting for the big birthday party next month. Still lots to do before the big party....

Really glad Andrew's surgery and all the beers were a sucess!
