Good morning everybody!
Sorry to hear about your son, Tax-chick--my daughter had so many ear infections when she was little, we had to have tubes put in her ears to help drainage (she kept the tubes when they fell out and still has them--she thought it was so cool.). I hate it when they get sick like that--but the neat thing is that no matter how sick they were they were always so happy and rarin' to go.
Howya rottndog!!
My chess-champ grnadson has had tubes in his ears as well as surgery, and he still has to have ear plugs when he showers. Ear infections are nothing to mess with.
Kids recover really fast. And that's a good thing, too. The greatest athletes in the world are under 15.
