Wow, that's a really young age for that....but it's better then seeing him suffer through earaches and being on antibiotics all the time. From someone who went through all that as a kid, there's nothing worse than an earache and when the doc used to use that machine to suction out the fluid when your ear was draining. After I had the tubes put in I never had another earache again. Hope it works for him.Originally Posted by Bretsky
