I was fixed when I went under and got tonsils and adenoids out and tubes in. Dont remember too many problems w/ the tubes - in miami there is H20 everywhere, but it was so worth doing. I was in kindergarten at the time. Those slimy gooey drops in a blue bottle were my very best friend. Got an ear infection when I was 18 and just sat outside the clinic till it opened and just kept repeating I need the blue drops... dont really remember the outcome of that, but pain as a semi adult is much worse than pain as toddler/baby. Least when it comes to ear infections. Good luck w/ the little cutie. i remember running down the hallway screaming in pain from ear infections. your poor baby.

After we had 10 I pushed for the ENT and we were seen about 10 minutes later. Our surgery is scheduled for April 23rd, which is annoying since he's had 3 more infections since we scheduled the surgery. I mean really...how much more suffering should a child go through? It's not even so much a matter of number of infections, it's the fact that they're so unresponsive to antibiotics. Each infection was at least 3 courses of different antibiotics. Good luck to Jack!
