Don't know that they were doing tubes then or how widespread but, from my kid perspective, I would have done just about anything to stop the terrible, and I do mean head-going-to-explode-excruciating-pain. Squirrel won't have a memory for the infections right now. I kept having ear problems into kindergarten so I remember those long nights screaming and crying and the ER visits when my parents were so desperate. And the drops they gave for pain didn't do a darn thing. Jesse had no ear problems so it's all my fault that Patrick does. <BR/><BR/>I don't mean to make you worried about Squirrel's level of pain but from a former sufferer, I wish someone had sliced into my eardrum and put a tube in there.Jane Priesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03538010409948644265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5280817527017552601.post-85464777633991010442008-10-23T21:28:00.000-04:002008-10-23T21:28:00.000-04:00Well, we shrug our shoulders and say "no big deal"...Well, we shrug our shoulders and say "no big deal" to minor surgeries as Patrick had general three times before he was even 18 months so our perspective is a little wacked. Patrick still gets ear infections but it is so much easier for parents to tell what is going on before they get out of hand and they drain so that the pressure is let up so he is much more comfortable when there is an infection. Would I do it again? Yes. Am I 100% satisfied? No because he still gets infections. When they have infections I understand it's as if they are hearing under water so even if there isn't real loss, there is loss during the infection.Jane Priesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03538010409948644265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5280817527017552601.post-79501750807200339722008-10-23T19:54:00.000-04:002008-10-23T19:54:00.000-04:00Sorry sweetie - that is rough.

Get all the info first, retest the ears. You are good parents!JessFindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13325162599309612585noreply@blogger.com
