I hope it goes well (I'm sure it will)! I had the exact same operation back in the medieval days of the 1970's, when I was five, and it cleared up my chronic earaches almost instantly. Back then they'd bribe you by telling you you could have all the ice cream you could eat after the procedure. I think I polished off about ten ice cream cups before I was discharged. : )

Sort:  

Thats the bribing that we are currently doing!

Yeah, that is the hope of it. By removing the giant adenoids and tonsils they hope to have a clearer airway for the glue in her glue ear to drain away. I am heartened to hear it worked as intended with you!

It's apparently a timeless bribing technique. : ) Totally worked in my case, they also put "tubes" in my ears during that procedure to help with drainage. It was my first time spending the night away from home and I kept climbing out of the bed and trying to escape the hospital.

They were going to do that with my daughter too but she has a huge issue with ear wax and they worked that some would get through the tubes and cause an infection in the inner ear.

Still, two ops to help with it all should do a good bit of difference!!
