I took Kiley and Kara into the ENT today. When I called them to ask about the mattery things around their eyes and the snotty noses + frequent waking at night they told me they wanted to see them. So I drove down quick after class, picked them up and headed in.
My dr was off but we saw another great guy and he said that there was still fluid back behind the ear drums that needed to drain. He gave me another type of drop that I need to get into their ears 2x daily and... I found out the tubes are waterproof ... aka drop proof. So I need to insert the drops a certain way to get them in. Yay more drops!
His thoughts on the night wakings makes sense to me too. He told me that the level of fluid in their ears prior to the tubes was bordering zero hearing *YIKES!* that there was a chance they weren't hearing a thing. So... if you think about it, they might have been sleeping through their sister's little movements not because they were accustomed to their sister... but because they couldn't hear a thing! So it might take awhile for them to adjust to the fact that they can hear things again.
And I doubt it helps that they are also teething.

Hope they get better! Good thing you are pro-active about it before they have speech issues due to hearing.
