Sing it with me, folks: M-I-C, K-E-Y, M-O-U B-U-T-T-O-N (the "button" part doesn't flow as well, but it's the only joke I could think of.) The boys now have their g-buttons. (The specific type is the Mic-Key button: www.mic-key.com.)
The surgery was performed by Dr. Herman last Wednesday morning in the OR at Our Children's House at Baylor, and the boys were discharged Friday afternoon (at 5 o'clock, meaning I got to fight Dallas traffic with two post-surgery one-year-olds...who, I must say, were much calmer than I was. Let's just say it's good the boys aren't repeating what they hear yet.)
Here they are post-surgery at Our Children's House. William didn't take long to perk up after coming off the anesthesia and didn't seem to be in any real pain. John-Raven was clearly uncomfortable, so he got some additional medication. (Can you tell by that faraway look in his eyes?)
As of today, the boys' Mic-Key buttons have been in for a week, and the boys have recovered nicely. William is having more trouble with teething issues than with last week's surgery.
