Joanna:

Tremendously. She had two ear infections after the tubes. We were a little frustrated. We were like, “Why did we get the tubes?” But they weren’t as bad. She actually didn’t need oral antibiotics because basically with the tubes, there’s a drainage, and so she actually just needed the ear drops, the antibiotic ear drops versus having the full-on oral antibiotics, which is good because we, she had been on antibiotics so much we really just didn’t want to give them to her if we didn’t have to.

So, and amazingly, her vocabulary just excelled, like within the first week of her getting the tubes put in her ears.
