5 year old diagnosed today

[Guest guest]

Hi, everyone. Today I found out that my 5 year old son has a c-toma in his

right ear. Found out last week that he has moderate hearing loss. Surgery has

been scheduled. I was surpised that it is out-patient surgery. Is that the

norm? I would feel more comfortable with healthcare professionals watching him

through the night. Also, if you have young children, please let me know what

your experience has been with recovery, i.e., how long before they could go back

to school. The doctor told me no " rough-housing " for at least 3 weeks, so I'll

definitely have to isolate him from his twin brother.

Thank you,
