Baileys Grommet Problem

As you would already be aware, Bailey had an operation last May to have grommets put into his ear. They made a huge difference almost immediately and his speech has developed beautifully since. But now we have a new problem. A few weeks ago, he fell over in the bath, his ear plug came out and he got water in his ear. Getting water in the ear with grommets creates problems as is the case with Bailey. He developed an ear infection, which he had drops for. This infection has pushed the grommet out of the ear drum where it is supposed to sit. It's still in the ear but not sitting in the drum, therefore not doing its job. The drops didn't clear it up and he went on a course of antibiotics for a week. Another trip to the doctor only to find the antibiotics didn't clear it up and he's on a stronger course now. The grommet had only been in for 8 months when it came out and should ideally be in for around 18 months. It looks like we'll be back at the hospital for another grommet to be put back in.
