Well they are both out now. Saw the doctor tonight. His ear infection has finally cleared up, but now the grommet on the other side has come out of its place in the ear drum. It is also sitting just inside the ear as the other side is. Now we are back to regular visits to the doctors and more series of hearing tests to see if he needs another operation to have them put back in. They have only been in for 9 months and really it's not long enough. They need to be in for a good 18 months for them to really do their job. That's what I think anyway.
I'm also concerned about his speech. It seems ok atm, but over the past week, while he had the infection, his speech started to go backwards. It's understandable with the ear infection blocking everything up again. I started finding it difficult to understand him. I'll be keeping an eye on him to make sure his speech is not affected again. If it is I'll be making sure we get the new grommets in asap.

That's not good! He was doing so well too...hope he can go without them, but they have improved his speech alot so dont hesitate to put them back. It's just a bummer it requires an anaesthetic :(
All the best for Bailey and hopefully they don't need replacing, but if they do keep you chin up.
Keep smiling and healthy
