Update on Ben's surgery

We took Ben for a 6month checkup after his operation to remove his adenoids and insert grommets.

He's doing great. Both grommets are still there but the left is blocked by ear drum growing over and almost out. This is the natural progression to it falling out. The right is still working.

Ben has had an excellent result from the surgery.
He no longer dribbles or snores!!!
He is hearing better and his speech has improved so much we are now more concerned about Ethan's speech!! We are thrilled with these results, as its always a worry as a parent to put your child through an operation. It's great to see proof that it was the right thing to do.

Ben still has to wear ear plugs to swim, shower, bath or any time his ears might get wet. He is very good and cooperates well with his earplugs.

We go back to the surgeon in 3 months for another checkup
