Another Set of Grommets

We saw the ear specialist on Thursday. Bailey will be going in for more grommets anywhere in the next 1 to 3 months. The specialist wanted to wait and see how he went in 3 months, but I wouldn't accept that. He developed fluid on his ears as soon as the grommets came out a few months ago and it has been there since, although not near as much as prior to grommets. Given Bailey's past history, waiting and seeing drags on and on and then we're in hospital having grommets anyway.

Given that he starts Kinda next year I want his problem fixed. His speech was delayed because of ear problems and started going backwards again after the grommets came out. I don't want him behind the 8 ball when he starts Kinda. I feel he is not ready for kinda, even though it's 9 months away and that can make a big difference, I do feel he is not as developed as a child his age should be, and this is because of his hearing stopping him from talking. He has come a very long way in the last 12 months and that is why I want the grommets back in, so they can do the job properly and his development can continue to soar and be able to cope with kinda and school.
