Yesterday we all got a very early start to the day as we had to have both Ben (who will be 7 in just a couple weeks) and Tom (who will be 5 in just a couple weeks) to the hospital by 6:45.
After dealing with strep throat in our house time and time again, they were both going to have their tonsils taken out. After Walter had his tonsils removed last fall, both he and Sam seemed to have broken the cycle. But Ben and Tom continued to have problems.
So the doctor recommended we get rid of them.
The tonsils, that is. Not Ben and Tom.
To the left are the boys as we wait to be called back to the pre-op and recovery rooms.
Below are the last photos of their mouths before their tonsils were yanked out.
