eartubes, tonsils and adenoids

[Guest guest]

Our 41/2 year old achondroplasia son went to see the ENT at the military

hospital today and he recommended that we put in eartubes and remove his

adenoids and tonsils all at the same time. He always has a runny nose

and fluid in his ears and some ear infections. I was prepared for the

ear tubes but not the adenoids and tonsils removed at the same time.

Has anyone gone through this same thing or heard about this being done

all at the same time. I heard someone talking about otolam(sp?) that is

done with lasers instead of tubes. Has anyone had this done instead of

tubes?

Thank you,
