[quote=Anonymous]This was me 6 months ago (except my son was only 3.5 yo). I was really leaning toward waiting but then DS got a bad EI and his eardrum ruptured. Got a second open and went forward with PE tubes and adenoid removal. It has made such a difference - not just better hearing but better sleep, better balance and even better eating. I am very glad we went forward with it and are now working with an SLP/OT team to help address some sensory issues that developed do to the impaired hearing/stuffy head. I'm so glad to be doing this now instead if elementary school. And for those wondering some kids are just more prone to fluid getting stuck in their middle ear which inturn leads to more ear infections - it generally is related to the eustacian tubes not draining efficiently and often runs in families. My dad remembers have awful ear infections as a kid and my sister did too and neither went to daycare/preschool.[/quote]
