It was a very big week in my family. Both my boys had surgery to remove their bars from repair of pectus excavatum from three years ago. Three years ago was major surgery. This time it was outpatient surgery and much less stressful. I'm so happy to report the boys are doing fantastic! It's such a relief.
Here's Secundogeniture with the bar in...
... and the bar out.
And here's Primogeniture with the bars in...
... and the bars out. Won't these make great souvenirs for boys?
Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. It really helped a lot. I'm so thrilled for my boys and so happy they're recovering nicely.
Glad they are doing well! Hope they recover quickly (though I can't imagine you could keep those boys down for long)

Glad to hear that the procedures went well. I think the hardware would be great show and tell items, but I am a biomedical engineer after all. ;-)
