My daughter had tubes put in her ears within the past year. She had 6 or 7 ear infections in a row before the surgery. Even though she had just finished up a round of antibiotics, the doctor said he found she had an ear infection WHEN he did the surgery!
The hardest part about it was that she didn't know what was going on and was very scared. The good thing is the surgery was extremely quick. She was a little out of it and tired for a couple of hours, but by the afternoon she was pretty much back to normal.
She actually had 2 ear infections after the surgery, but the doctor says the tubes helped lessen the severity of the infection and she only needed ear drops vs. oral antibiotics. Since then, knock on wood, she had had no ear infections.
We noticed a remarkable improvement in her pronunciation of words pretty quickly and her vocabulary expanded tremendously in only a week's time. It was truly amazing.
