I thought that there might be more kids with tubes on this board...
Are there rules about swimming? I just scheduled the consult with the ENT to discuss the surgery. The consult isn't until 2/12 and Adam is scheduled to start swimming lessons on 2/22 and they go six weeks. Did any of your kids have swimming restrictions after surgery?
Re: R/P from 6-12 - if your DC has ear tubes...
I replied on 6-12 before I saw that you XP'd it!
DD got tubes put in a few days before Christmas. Until the post-op appointment the Dr. wanted me to limit her exposure to water. For baths we needed to use plugs in her ears. They never specifically said "no swimming" but I don't really see swim lessons as limiting exposure.
Now that she's been cleared we don't need to use plugs for baths or the pool. The only time she'll need them is for the ocean or lake.
DD -- 5YO
DS -- 3YO
