The ear tube surgery is all over and done with. The procedure itelf took only 10 minutes, but we were at the hospital for a good three hours for all the paperwork, nurses' questions, waiting, and recovery.
Juma was pretty ticked off after he woke up, but once the grogginess wore off and some tylenol kicked in, he was fine. He was out playing baseball within a couple hours of waking up, so everything is fine.
The only complication is that we have to be very careful about getting water in his ears for the next several months to a year, until the tubes fall out and his eardrums heal up. (We'll need earplugs.)
