Thank you for the encouraging words. I hope I am simply over reacting. How long did recovery take? Did you stay in a hospital overnight post surgery? Did he get all hearing back or was there some loss?
Sorry for all the questions lol. I prefer to get experiences of the ones on the patient side.
I had a would be permanent hole left in my eardrum from the tubes. My parents didn't think about legal action until it was far too late, but oh well. I will tell you this; make sure they are absolutely certain the graft will take. I had two surgeries where the patch did not take due to my eardrum not receiving enough blood flow, and it was dying. Fortunately, we found another doctor who took skin from behind my ear and reconstructed my eardrum so I didn't go completely deaf. I have slight hearing loss to certain frequencies, but years of loud music have done that too. I pray everything goes well for you and your child. It's not that invasive or intense, it's just an inconvenience in the end.
