Ear tubes at this late date? Guess so...

[Guest guest]

It looks like Ramona (who is 25 with ds) is going to have to have another

ear tube, just in the left ear. She has a long history of ear woes. I laid

them all out in my blog tonight (http://2grandmas2.blogspot.com/) so I'm not

going to do it again, but you can read our tale of woe if you want. The

upshot of it all, she's had multiple tubes, an eardrum repaired. more

infections, and now a new tube. The tube will go through the repair and the

hope is that she'll wind up with a permanent, very tiny hole in that

eardrum. Because it just doesn't drain, the fake eardrum is inpermeable so

no help there, and built up fluid must be given a way out. If for no other

reason than that Ramona is in pain, all the time.

Has anyone else continued to have these issues into adulthood? Any wise

words?

Love to hear them

in Seattle (and yes, I'm pretty sleepless these days)

mom to Ramona 25 ds,
