| My 4 yr old is having surgery on December 6. They are removing her adnoids and putting tubes in her ears (but leaving her tonsils ) They are also going to flush her sinuses. She has "significant hearing loss" in her right ear, and "moderate hearing loss" in her left one. She also has two ear infections and strep throat that she is still on antibiotics for, and today they said she had a sinus infection as well. No wonder she's been so grumpy lately! Poor baby!

| Your poor daughter. Sinus infections are the pits. I have one now and am on antibiotics. She's so young. Sending a prayer that all will be just fine after the surgery and she'll feel so much better. |

| I hope it will get better after her surgery. It SHOULD since she won't have all that yucky fluid on them anymore.

| ah, bless her heart. my daughter had surgery at 4 also. hers was to repair some hernias. it was the saddest day. and super scary because i had no idea how she would react to be sedated. you just never know...but she was FINE. and so much better afterward!! i'm sure your daughter will be just fine. try not to worry too much mom!! just stay close and make sure you choose a great doctor that is good with children. i took trinity to Vanderbilt Childrens hospital and it was great because they were sooooooooooo good with her!! i wouldn't have made it through the day if they weren't so wonderful. hugs...and please keep us posted!!!

| awww...so sorry to hear about this. My little sister, 7, had her adnoids removed along with her tonsils and she was up and running around in about a week. My other sister had tubes in her ears twice and they seem to recover quickly from it. Yet we never did find the tubes when they fell out...hehe. Good luck on her surgery. I'll be thinking of her!

| Thanks ya'll. MIke and I are both really nervous. Olivia, on the other hand, is excited about it. She really doesn't understand what surgery is so I told her its when you go to sleep, then the doctor comes and takes out the things that are making you sick. When you wake up the things that made you sick are gone and you start to feel LOTS better. She said, "Yahoo!! I'm going to get better!" So she is really excited. Of course, being told she gets ice cream to eat afterwards and that she can even have it for breakfast if she wants didn't hurt either.

| My son had the same surgery at age 4. Ask the doctor if he can but a stitch around the tubes so they dont fall out. Jimmy had three sets of tubes. I hope the doctor will give you some free ear plugs for the ears. Remember Shower caps and ear plugs around water .

YT 2000 Club Member | 2 of my four boy's, Kennedy and Lincoln, have had to have tubes put in and Lincoln had to also have tonsils and adenoids removed they were age 1 and age 2 when they had theirs done. Kennedy also had to have several surgery's before he was even a year old for GI problems that he had and that was so scarry to go through. Any surgery on any child regardless the age is scarry to think about! I was a nervous reck when they had their surgeries and al of them were at a world renown hospital for children too, Rainbow Babies and Childrens Hospital. I hope that all goes well for your little girl and she starts to feel better soon! My son's hearing improved with the tubes, they said that before the tube placements, he was hearing things as if the person talking had their hand over their mouth muffling the sound.
