What’s the recovery like for ear tubes & adenoidectomy? My daughter is almost 6 and no longer has frequent ear infections, but has been diagnosed with chronic hearing loss due to middle ear fluid build up so she needs tubes and apparently it’s standard to take the adenoids out at the same time.
Also feeling some mom guilt that I didn’t push harder for tubes when she was a toddler who did have frequent ear infections. She now has significant speech articulation issues that are likely related to the hearing loss, and I’m feeling really bad we didn’t notice and address this earlier.
Am I the jerk of a parent here? My four year old was invited to a party of one of his daycare classmates. The party is 5:00 on a Tuesday, at a a location that is 20-30 minutes away from the area where the daycare is and where we live. I most just don’t want to go, because it’s super inconvenient for me to leave work and get him there. My son keeps talking it up though, so mom guilt is strong.
Please don’t get this for a frequent traveler in your life… I travel regularly and don’t use any of this stuff except socks, which I don’t need more of.
