my ds had gromets last december, he was 2, he had reoccuring ear infections over is first 2 years. no probs with th surgery, they cut smoe addanoids out too and he has improved. Gromets have recently fallen out by themselves and ears are looking good.
he still has some sinus issues, so we are left with deciding if anymore is to be done to his addanoids.
I wasn't too concerned about him having the op because my hubby had them 3 times, his brother twice and his sitster once, they all survived back in the 80's a lot of advances have been made in the last 30 years
